Question

Which country do you think had a stronger democracy at the end of the nineteenth century, France or England? Why?

A: I think England had a stronger democracy at the end of the nineteenth century. By 1870, England, or Great Britain, had long had a working two-party parliamentary system. Thus, at the end of the nineteenth century, England had a political democracy that had successfully been established.

Answer 1

Good. You might want to also point out France's weaknesses.

Answer 2

A: I think England had a stronger democracy at the end of the nineteenth century. By 1870, England, or Great Britain, had long had a working two-party parliamentary system. In 1900, a new party---the Labour Party, which dedicated itself to the interests of workers--also emerged. Thus, at the end of the nineteenth century, England had a political democracy that had successfully been established. Politics in France during the nineteenth century, however, were not stable. The Second Empire government also collapsed during this period.

Answer 3

Yes!
