Overview
I'm working on a political science writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
Select ONE of the following questions. Write a reflection. Pages 61-118.
Book: The Levellers, The Putney Debates (Verso; introduction by Geoffrey Robertson) ISBN: 9781788731416
select one question from below.
1) How would you characterize the general atmosphere at the Putney Debates?
2) Why did the Levellers bring up for discussion and vote the “Agreement of the People” instead of “The Case of the Army Truly Stated”? What seems to be Cromwell’s attitude toward this proposal, and are there reasons to believe his real attitude might have been different than what transpired at the Putney Debates?
3) What is Ireton’s most fundamental objection to the Levellers’ proposal for universal suffrage? In addition, why does he repeatedly conjure up the image of foreigners on English soil?
