Question

Examine the impact of industrialization on political representation in two countries.

Markscheme

The question requires that candidates consider the interrelationship between industrialization and political representation in two countries. A comparative approach may or may not be used. Candidates may refer to the emergence of new political ideologies and their impact on political representation, the way elected bodies changed to reflect: new social classes; changes to social hierarchies; changes to political representation because of population growth; and/or to voting policies, which influenced political representation. Candidates may evaluate the impact of industrialization on political representation by considering positive and/or negative outcomes. While other relevant interrelationships may be considered—to provide context to, or commentary on, the significance of the impact of industrialization on political representation—the bulk of the response will remain on that raised in the question.
