Q 1. “Despite the claims of male writers that the American Revolution represented a dramatic and positive change in the nature of society, the effects on women in the new United States were either negative or so temporary as to produce no lasting improvement in the situation of women.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Your answer should address the following topics: 1) the extent to which women received political benefits from the Constitution, 2) changes in the legal position of women, and 3) enhancement of the economic status of women, to the extent that it occurred. 2. “On balance, the concept of Republican Motherhood represented a more positive development than a negative trend for Anglo women in the United States. In the areas of marriage, education, and religion, the concept allowed women greater scope for their abilities. Only in politics did Republican Motherhood fail to help middle- and upper-class white women.” Evaluate this statement and illustrate your position with relevant examples. 3.
