Institutions of Athenian democracy

’... what with festival-grants and jurors’ wages and other fees and largesse, [Pericles] bribed the whole of the multitude, and used them in opposition to the Council of the Areopagus. Of this body he himself was not a member, since the lot had not made him Archon. [...] For this reason Pericles, strong in the affections of the people, succeeded in overcoming the power of the Council of the Areopagus [...]. Cimon too was charged with being a lover of Sparta and a hater of the people, and was ostracised.’ (Parallel lives by Plutarch: Pericles)

„[Periklész] a színházi pénzekkel, a törvényszéki napidíjakkal, s a más címeken fizetett összegekkel és közsegélyekkel megnyerte magának a népet, és felhasználta az Areioszpagosz tanácsa ellen, amelynek ő maga nem volt tagja, mivel sorsolással soha nem választották meg arkhónná. […] Periklész, mihelyt biztonsággal támaszkodhatott a népre, letörte a tanács hatalmát […]. Ezenfelül Kimónt mint Spárta barátját és a nép ellenségét, osztrakiszmosszal száműzette […].” (Plutarkhosz: Párhuzamos életrajzok. Periklész.)

‘The asymmetric heavy plough, which was often fitted with wheels, and whose archaeological traces are known from the 10th-11th centuries, not only ensured that the seeds to be sown got into the soil but also led to a richer harvest because it turned the deeper layers of the soil. The heavy plough required more investment and greater traction.’ (Historian Balázs Nagy) „A gyakran kerékkel ellátott aszimmetrikus nehézeke, melynek régészeti nyomai már a IX-X. századból ismeretesek, nemcsak az elvetendő mag földbe juttatását biztosította, hanem a föld mélyebb rétegeit is megforgatva elősegítette a sikeresebb termést. A nehézeke nagyobb befektetést, több igaerőt igényelt.” (Nagy Balázs, történész)

[...] The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. [...] We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.’ (Extracts from the American Declaration of In dependence) „Magától értetődőnek tartjuk azokat az igazságokat, hogy minden ember egyenlőként teremtetett, az embert teremtője olyan elidegeníthetetlen jogokkal ruházta fel, amelyekről le nem mondhat, s ezek közé a jogok közé tartozik a jog az élethez és a szabadsághoz, valamint a jog a boldogságra való törekvésre. Ezeknek a jogoknak a biztosítására az emberek kormányzatokat létesítenek, amelyeknek törvényes hatalma a kormányzottak beleegyezésén nyugszik. Ha bármikor, bármely kormányforma alkalmatlanná válik e célok megvalósítására, a nép joga, hogy az ilyen kormányzatot megváltoztassa vagy eltörölje, és új kormányzatot létesítsen, olyan elvekre alapítva és hatalmát olyan módon szervezve, amely jobban védi biztonságát, és jobban elősegíti boldogulását. […] Nagy-Britannia jelenlegi királyának a története nem egyéb, mint ismételt jogtalanságok és bitorlások sorozata, amelynek határozott célja a teljes zsarnokság érvényesítése államaink felett.

9. This task is about the stratification of Hungarian society between the two World Wars. Do the tasks using the source and your own knowledge. ‘Numerous guests paid visits to the beautifully furnished house in Andrássy street. […] Pear-shaped chandeliers were reflected in the marble floor, gilt chairs stood along the wall. […] We spent most of the summer in Derekegyháza. The estate in Derekegyháza was bought by my grandfather, Manfred Weiss, and the lady of the house at all times was my aunt Elza Mautner, who became a widow very young. The vast expanse of land included a mansion, a swimming pool and a tennis court. […] Sometimes hunting was organised. Twice a year the so-called “manhunt”, to which my father invited his friends, ministers and bankers. […] My father [Ferenc Chorin] was not interested in hunting: this was more a pretext to get together in the evenings, to discuss events and make plans for the future. […] What Bethlen was to politics, Chorin was to the economy.’ (Excerpt from the memoirs of Ms Strasser neé Daisy Chorin) „Az Andrássy úti gyönyörűen berendezett házban rengeteg vendég fordult meg. […] Körte alakú csillárok tükröződnek a márványpadlón, a fal mellett aranyozott székek állnak. […] A nyár nagy részét Derekegyházán töltöttük. A derekegyházi birtokot Weiss Manfréd nagyapám vette, s nagynéném, a fiatalon megözvegyült Mautner Elza néni volt a mindenkori háziasszony. Hatalmas területen kúriát, úszómedencét és teniszpályát foglalt magában. […] Olykor vadászatok is folytak. Évente kétszer ún. férfivadászat, amire édesapám barátokat, minisztereket, bankárokat hívott meg. […] Apámat [Chorin Ferencet] a vadászat nem érdekelte, inkább ürügy volt esténként összeülni, megbeszélni az eseményeket és terveket szőni a jövőre. […] Ami a politikában Bethlen, az a gazdaságban Chorin.” (Részletek Strasserné Chorin Daisy visszaemlékezéseiből) a) Name the social class to which the author of the source belonged.

10. This task is about the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Answer the questions using the sources describing the events of the 1956 Revolution and Freedom Fight, and your own knowledge. Sources:

A) ‘Suddenly somebody says: let’s go and pull down the Stalin statue. We got on a lorry and as we were going workers were emerging from the factories. A student revolution might have been surpressed. But when the workers got off the tram, and the crowds began to move ... [...] When we went back to the Radio, fighting was already in full swing there.’ (From the memoirs of Ferenc Czene) A) „Egyszer csak valaki azt mondja, menjünk, döntsük le a Sztálin-szobrot. Fölültünk egy teherautóra, s ahogy mentünk, jöttek ki a munkások a gyárakból. A diákfelkelést talán el is fojthatták volna. De amikor a villamosról a munkások leszálltak, és megindult az áradat… […] Visszamentünk a Rádióhoz, akkor már ott dúlt a harc.” (Czene Ferenc visszaemlékezése) B) ’The agreement was the following: Soviet troops were to be pulled out of Budapest, and Hungarian troops were to take their place. We were to give up our weapons into their hands. [...] We went home to Tűzoltó street. In the meantime, there was an atmosphere of victory at the Corvin cinema, they were filming, masses of foreign journalists were running around with cameras, note pads. There really was an armistice. The Russian tanks were rolling out of the city.’ (Confession of István Angyal, commander of the armed group in Tűzoltó street) B) „Megegyezés történt a következő formában: a szovjet csapatokat kivonják Budapestről, helyükre magyar csapatok állnak be. Mi azok kezébe letesszük a fegyvert. […] Hazamentünk a Tűzoltó utcába. Közben már nagy győzelmi hangulat volt a Corvin mozinál, filmeztek, külföldi újságírók tömege szaladgált fényképezőgépekkel, jegyzőtömbökkel. Valóban tűzszünet volt. A szovjet tankok vonultak kifelé a városból.” (Angyal Istvánnak, a Tűzoltó utcai fegyveres csoport parancsnokának vallomása)

C) ’Having broken the resistance of the rebels, the Russian troops fighting in Budapest took the Parliament and the building of the Central Leadership of the Hungarian Workers’s Party, as well as the radio station in the proximity of the Parliament. They took three Danube bridges connecting the eastern and western parts of town, as well as an arsenal and ammunition magazine.’ (Soviet Minister of Defence Zhukov’s report on the Hungarian situation) C) „A Budapesten harcoló szovjet csapatok a lázadók ellenállásának letörése után elfoglalták a Parlament és az MDP KV [Magyar Dolgozók Pártja Központi Vezetősége] épületét, valamint a Parlament közelében lévő rádióadó-állomást. Birtokukba vettek három, a város keleti és nyugati részét összekötő Duna-hidat, valamint egy fegyver- és lőszerraktárat.” (Zsukov szovjet hadügyminiszter jelentése a magyarországi helyzetről) D) ‘We take the tram on Margit bridge to Buda. The atmosphere is already a lot hotter at Bem square and a bigger crowd awaits us here than previously at the Petőfi statue. They are also listening to Peter Veres right now. […] The noise and the crowd are massive and growing all the time. Slogans are flying, songs can be heard. We sing alternately the National Anthem, the Szózat, the Kossuth song. Sometimes they start it here, sometimes there.’ (From the diary of István Zimándi Pius, Premonstratensian monk) D) „A Margit hídon Budára még villamoson megyünk. A Bem téren már sokkal forróbb a hangulat és nagyobb tömeg fogad, mint előbb a Petőfi-szobornál. Itt is éppen Veres Pétert hallgatják. […] A zsibongás, a tömeg óriási és egyre nő. Jelszavak röpködnek, énekek hangzanak. Felváltva énekeljük a Himnuszt, Szózatot, a Kossuth-nótát. Hol itt kezdik, hol ott.” (Részletek Zimándi Pius István, premontrei szerzetes naplójából) E) ‘When we reached Kossuth square a surprising scene welcomed us. On both sides of the Parliament Soviet tanks and anti-tank guns stood. At the base of each gun there was a Hungarian flag! On the barrels children and adults sat, clinging on. As if it was a popular feast, they were befriending the Russian soldiers. […] I saw the first burst of machine-gun fire very well . It came from the top of the coffee house, as a signal. Following this they fired bursts from the roof of the Institution of Labour Movement, the building at Kossuth square. […] By the time I got under the archway they were shooting from the tops of 3-4 buildings and also from the front of the Parliament.’ (Recollections of an anonymous witness) E) „A Kossuth térre érve meglepő kép fogadott. A Parlament mindkét oldalán szovjet tankok és páncéltörő lövegek álltak. Valamennyi ágyú tövében magyar nemzetiszín zászló! Az ágyúk csövén gyerekek és felnőttek ültek, csimpaszkodtak. Mintha népünnepély volna, barátkoztak a szovjet katonákkal. […] Az első géppuskasorozatot jól láttam. Ez a Kávéházas ház tetejéről jött, mint jeladás. Ezt követően a Munkásmozgalmi Intézet, a Kossuth téri ház tetejéről is sorozatokat lőttek. […] Mire az árkádok alá jutottam, 3-4 épület tetejéről és a Parlament elől is lőttek.” (Névtelen szemtanú visszaemlékezése)

11. This task is about the present-day problems of developing countries. Answer the questions referring to the economic problems of Black Africa, using the sources and your own knowledge. Sources: Nigeria: ‘Hungry, half-naked kids and grumpy, unemployed adults dawdle on dirt roads. There is no electricity, there is no proper drinking water. There is neither health care nor school. Fishing nets hang dry, deserted boats carved out of trunks are scattered around the muddy shore. The oil which has been seeping for several decades, the rain which has turned acid as a result of burning gas flares, and the cutting down of mangrove forests which were in the way of pipelines wiped out the fish. Nigeria has been destroyed by the very thing that promised so much at the beginning: oil, which constitutes four fifths of the state’s income and 95 percent of its exports. In 1960 the country exported almost nothing else but agricultural products, mainly palm oil and cocoa beans. Today these are almost insignificant in foreign trade. Today Africa’s most populous country of 130 million people must import more food than it produces, although previously it used to be self-sufficient.’ (Journalist Tom O’Neill, National Geographic)

Nigéria: „Éhes, félmeztelen gyerkőcök és rosszkedvű, munkanélküli felnőttek csoportjai ténferegnek a földutakon. Nincs villany, nincs rendes ivóvíz. Nincs sem egészségügyi ellátás, sem iskola. A halászhálók szikkadtan lógnak, a fatörzsből vájt csónakok elhagyatva hevernek az iszapos parton. A több évtizede szivárgó olaj, a gázfáklyák miatt savassá váló eső meg a csővezetékek útjában álló mangroveerdők letarolása kipusztította a halakat. Nigériát az tette tönkre, ami kezdetben oly sokat ígért: az állam bevételeinek négyötödét, kivitelének 95 százalékát adó olaj. Az ország 1960-ban még szinte csak mezőgazdasági cikkeket, legfőképpen pálmaolajat és kakaóbabot exportált. Ma már mindezek alig számítanak a külkereskedelemben. Afrika legnépesebb, 130 milliós országa ma több élelmiszert kénytelen importálni, mint amennyit megtermel. Pedig hajdan önellátó volt.” (Tom O’Neill, újságíró, National Geographic)

Kenya: ‘After becoming independent (1964), the state […] bought up some of the estates and distributed them among small-holder peasants. This, however, barely reduced the shortage of land; from time to time the average density of agrarian population, which is more than 1000 people/km2, and food shortages lead to ethnic conflicts and make it essential to halt the demographical boom as soon as possible. The Kenyan economy is characterised by the duality of excellently equipped large estates producing goods for the market, still partly in European hands, and small-holders using primitive farming methods.’ (Ferenc Probáld, geographer) Kenya: „A függetlenné válás (1964) után az állam a […] birtokok egy részét felvásárolta, és kisparaszti gazdaságok közt osztotta szét. A földéhségen azonban ez vajmi keveset segített; az 1000 fő/km2 feletti átlagos agrárnépsűrűség az élelmezési helyzet romlásán túl időről időre etnikai feszültségekhez vezet, és a demográfiai robbanás mielőbbi megfékezését sürgeti. A kenyai gazdaságot a részben még európai kézen lévő, kitűnően felszerelt nagy árutermelő farmok, valamint a primitív kisparaszti gazdálkodás dualizmusa jellemzi.” (Probáld Ferenc, földrajztudós)

13. This task is about the Islamic faith. (short) Describe the most important characteristics of the Islamic faith, using the sources and your own knowledge. In your answer, include the other religions that influenced the development of Islam. ‘Memories going back to the 5th century maintained the names of pagan gods of the Arabs, (including also Allah and his three daughters). […] Mohammed belonged to the poorer branch of the Hashim clan of the Quarysh tribe. On his long-distance trading journeys as a caravan guide, [he got acquainted with religions other than his own]. […] Merging the elements of these with pagan Arabic traditions and including the ethical requirements of both, he formed his own religion. […] An example of the blending of religious traditions is the belief that the pagan sanctuary of the Kaaba was built by the forefather Ibrahim (The Abraham of the Old Testament), and the black meteorite rock was given as a present by Archangel Gabriel to an ancestor in the Quarysh tribe.’ (Historian György Székely) „Az V. századig terjedő emlékek az arabok pogány istenségeinek nevét tartották fenn (köztük van Allah és az ő három leánya is). […] Mohamed a mekkai Kurais törzs Hasim nemzetségének szegényebb ágából származott. Mint karavánvezető, távolsági kereskedő útjain [az övétől eltérő vallásokat is megismert] […]; ezek elemeiből és az arab pogányság hagyományaiból, mindezek etikai követelményeiből ötvözte új vallását. […] A vallási hagyományok összeolvadását mutatja, hogy a Kába pogány szentélyét Ibrahim ősatya (az ótestamentumi Ábrahám) építette, a fekete meteorkövet pedig Gábriel arkangyal ajándékozta egy Kurais törzsbeli ősnek.” (Székely György, történész) ‘Maria’s son the Messiah is only a messenger. Messengers have already passed away [from the living] before him. His mother is one of the righteous ones.’ (Excerpt from the Koran) „A Messiás, Mária fia csupán egy küldött. Már előtte is eltávoztak a küldöttek [az élők sorából]. Az ő anyja az igazak közül való.” (Részlet a Koránból)

16. This task is about the foundation of the Hungarian state. (long) Describe the circumstances under which Stephen seized political power, and the means and methods he used to consolidate his authority, using the sources and your own knowledge. Use your secondary school history map.

‘In the Middle Ages royal marriages were not considered to be private affairs, but […] served to consolidate the reign of the dynasty. If a period of war was over, they meant a guarantee of peace. Sometimes, in order to consolidate the reign of the dynasty […] they tried to find an ally who would help them not only to eliminate possible attacks, but who could be expected to offer them military assistance.’ (Historian Mária Font) „Az uralkodói házasságok a középkorban nem magánügyek voltak, hanem […] a dinasztia uralmának megszilárdítását szolgálták. Ha egy háborús időszakot zártak le, akkor a békekötés garanciáját jelentették. Előfordult, hogy a dinasztia uralmának megszilárdításához […] szövetségest kerestek, akinek a segítségével nemcsak a lehetséges támadásokat küszöbölték ki, hanem akitől alkalmasint katonai segítséget is várhattak.” (Font Márta, történész)

The slaying of Koppány (Illustrated Chronicle)

’The priests and the bailiffs are to bid all the village mayors that under their orders everybody, young and old, men and women, should go to church on Sunday, except for those who guard the fire. And if as a result of their negligence somebody stays at home, but not to guard the fire, then this person should be beaten and his hair must be shaved off.’ (Excerpt from Saint Stephen’s first lawbook) „A papok pedig és az ispánok hagyják meg az összes falusi bíróknak, hogy ezek parancsára vasárnap mindenki menjen a templomba, öregek és fiatalok, férfiak és nők, kivéve azokat, akik a tüzet őrzik. Ha pedig valaki amazok hanyagsága folytán nem őrzés végett marad otthon, az ilyet verjék meg, és nyírják le.” (Részlet Szent István első törvénykönyvéből) …………………………………………………………………………………………………

17. This task is about the reform programme of Lajos Kossuth. (short) Describe how the promotion of industry was connected to the question of customs duties in the reform programme of Lajos Kossuth, using the source and your own knowledge. ‘I am a man who belongs to liberty. I belong to liberty everywhere and in everything. […] I have always professed, and still do, that the system of protective tariffs is not an aim, but only a means; not an educated state but education, and even for this purpose it is only good because it is an unholy necessity. Is it our fault that industry in the world was not brought up in the nursing arms of a common and equal liberty? Is it our fault that our industry has only just begun to develop? […] Almost all nations would employ the system of protective tariffs as the tutor of their infant industry, and would bring the child up to be a man under its protection […] give us also that tutor, let him mature our child into a similar man; give us protective tariffs as stairs on which we can ascend to the level of free trade, do not force the Hungarian child to fight a strong man, no doubt the poor child would be trampled to death, let us bring up the child to be an adult, and then open the gates and let the fight begin.’ (Extract from a newspaper article by Lajos Kossuth) „Én a szabadság embere vagyok. A szabadságé mindenütt és mindenben. […] Vallottam mindig, s azt vallom ma is, hogy a védvámrendszer nem cél, hanem eszköz; nem kinevelt állapot, hanem nevelés, s még ennek is csak azért jó, mert szentségtelen kénytelenség. Mit tehetünk mi róla, hogy a műipar [értsd: ipar] a világon nem a közös egyenlő szabadság dajkáló karjain neveltetett fel? Mit tehetünk mi róla, hogy csak most kezd fejleni műiparunk? […] Csaknem minden nemzet gyermeki műiparának nevelőjéül a véd[vám]rendszert alkalmazá, s ennek oltalma alatt férfiúvá nevelé a gyermeket […] adjátok nekünk is azon nevelőt, hadd növelje fel gyermekünket hasonló férfiúvá; adjatok védvámrendszert lépcsőnek, hogy feljuthassunk a szabad kereskedés emeletébe, ne kényszerítsétek ki a hazai gyermeket az erős férfiúval küzdeni, hisz a szegény gyermeket az erős férfiú agyontiporja okvetlenül, hagyjátok a gyermeket férfiúvá növelnünk, aztán nyissátok fel viadalra a sorompókat.” (Részletek Kossuth Lajos egyik hírlapi cikkéből)

We [...] do [...] solemnly proclaim, in maintenance of the inalienable natural rights of Hungary, with all its dependencies, to occupy the position of a free, autonomous and independent European State. Furthermore, the territorial unit of the entire state is declared to be indivisible and its integrity inviolable. 2. The house of Hapsburg-Lorraine -- having, by treachery, perjury, and levying of war against the Hungarian nation, [...] by violation both of the Pragmatic Sanction and of treaties concluded between Austria and Hungary, on which the alliance between the two countries depended -- is, as treacherous house of first Habsburgs, then of Habsburg-Lorrain, forever excluded from the throne of the united states of Hungary and Transylvania and all their dependencies.’ (Extract from the declaration of independence of the Hungarian nation) „1. Magyarország a vele törvényesen egyesült Erdéllyel és hozzá tartozó minden részekkel és tartományokkal egyetemben szabad, önálló és független európai státusnak nyilváníttatik, s ezen egész státus területi egysége feloszthatatlannak s épsége sérthetetlennek kijelentetik.
