This resource contains my plans for some possible 8 mark questions that could be asked in the Rights and Responsibilities section of the AQA GCSE Citizenship Studies Exam.
In this document, I provide many points in agreement and disagreement of the statement proposed in the question, I did this as part of my GCSE revision, I used AQA past paper mark schemes to find model points and then put these into a clear, table format to help me remember them. I also researched many statistics which could be used to support my points and there are also some examples which I’ve included to support the points and impress examiners.
Citizenship was one of the GCSEs that I found hardest to revise for because there were limited online resources, having access to essay plans such as these would have been a great help.
Please note that these are not full answers to the questions, they are points/ arguments which could be made in 8 mark question answers, which I collated myself when revising for citizenship because they were really useful for having all of the information in a condensed, easy to remember format.
This document contains plans for the following questions:
‘The advantages of the jury system outweigh the disadvantages.’ Examine this statement.’
‘UK law should be made by MPs, not by judges.’ To what extent do you agree with this statement?
‘Universal human rights are not protected effectively.’ Examine the case for or against this statement
‘Voluntary groups are a very effective means by which the citizen can bring about change in their community.’ Considering a range of views to what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
‘Rehabilitation is the most effective way of dealing with criminals and their crimes.’ Considering a range of views, to what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Is prison the most effective form of punishment?
‘The UK courts are a very effective means by which the citizen can hold those in power to account.’ Considering a range of views to what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Should prisoners have the right to vote?
Should we lower the voting age to 16?
Please note that the preview image does not show all of the essay plans and is blurred for selling purposes only - the document will be perfectly clear when purchased.
