In Crane Brinton’s model of revolution, which stage features the ascent of radicals, centralization of power, and the use of ‘Terror’?

The principle of “No taxation without representation” central to the American Revolution is an application of which core political theory?
💡 Explanation:The slogan 'No taxation without representation' directly embodies the core tenet of Social Contract Theory, as articulated by Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke.

Which core principle of the French Revolution most directly undermined the legal structure of the Ancien Régime’s Three Estates?
💡 Explanation:The Ancien Régime was fundamentally defined by the legal privileges and exemptions of the First Estate (Clergy) and the Second Estate (Nobility) from the obligations, particularly taxation, borne by the Third Estate. The principle of 'Equality before the Law' directly challenged and eventually abolished this system of birth-based legal distinctions, establishing that all citizens were subject to the same laws and burdens, thus destroying the legal foundation of the Three Estates system.
