Question 1

IDENTIFICATIONS
-the Concordat

Accepted Answer

The Concordat was an agreement between the Vatican and a government, typically a European government, that regulated the relationship between the Catholic Church and the state. These agreements were common in the 19th and early 20th centuries and were often seen as a way to resolve conflicts between the church and the state. The terms of each Concordat varied, but they typically addressed issues such as the appointment of bishops, the role of the church in education and social services, and the status of church property. The Concordat was often controversial, as it raised questions about the separation of church and state and the extent of the church's influence in public life. In some cases, Concordats were later abrogated or modified as political and social conditions changed.

Question 2

IDENTIFICATIONS
-Georges Danton

Accepted Answer

Georges Danton was a prominent figure during the French Revolution. He was a powerful orator and a key leader of the radical Jacobin faction. Danton played a significant role in the early stages of the revolution, advocating for the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic.

He was known for his passionate speeches and his ability to rally the people to the revolutionary cause. Danton also played a crucial role in the formation of the Committee of Public Safety, which was responsible for governing France during the most tumultuous period of the revolution.

However, Danton's political career was short-lived. He was eventually arrested and executed during the Reign of Terror, a period of mass executions and political repression. Despite his controversial and often brutal tactics, Danton remains a complex and influential figure in the history of the French Revolution. His legacy continues to be a subject of debate among historians and scholars.
