Explanation:
People are free to believe in and practice any religion, is not a valid reason for arguing that
there is a lesser possibility of famine in a democratic country.
7. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
The Society of Revolutionary and Republican Women was the most famous women’s
political club that discussed and voiced their interests. One of their main demands was that
women enjoy the same political rights as men. Women were disappointed that the
Constitution of 1791 reduced them to passive citizens. They demanded the right to vote,
to be elected to the Assembly, and to hold political office. Only then, they felt, would their
interests be represented in the new government. However, women’s movements for voting
rights and equal wages continued through the next two hundred years in many countries of
the world. It was finally in 1946 that women in France won the right to vote.
The reason is the cause behind women's long-drawn battle for their political rights, even
after the formation of a constitution, which was achieved only after two centuries.
