To what extent do conservatives advocate for paternalism? This is an example practice essay which goes over some of the key aspects of conservatism. I took Edexcel’s Government & Politics A-Level course in 2019, achieving an A*, and afterwards I studied politics at the University of Warwick. I would recommend this style of revision - writing out key questions and then doing answers in abbreviated rather than full prose form. Happy studying! Paternalism is the idea of government by people who are best equipped to lead and make decisions through birth, inheritance and upbringing. It links to Burke’s notion of noblesse oblige, which is that those who are best off have obligations to those without; obligations of generosity, fairness, etc, and in turn, the masses have obligations of obedience and lawfulness.

Warwick’s PO301 is a final year 30 CAT course available to those with some specialism in politics or political theory - most notably, those taking PPE, PPL, EPP, EPAIS, PAIS, or History & Politics. This essay was a summative submission and covered the module on freedom and borders. It rejects the argument made by Wellman (2008) that supports the right to exclude. Wellman’s arguments are also covered in other courses, such as the final-year PPE/PPL course Political Economy of Philosophy and Politics. The essay achieved a first. Use it as a source of ideas but don’t copy it - not least for reasons around plagiarism - but also because independent thought is what matters, not so much the content of the argument itself.

Ma Famille AQA Edexcel worksheet, lesson resource, activity. Should take about 15-20 minutes. The level of difficulty increases towards the end, so good for mixed abilities.

If you find it useful, please leave a review and suggest ways to make it better! Thanks.

EPQ question: Benjamin Disraeli ‘had scant respect for probity and integrity in politics - his code of behaviour was truly Machiavellian’. How accurate is this judgement? I achieved full marks in this piece (54/54). Contents: Abstract Introduction Research Review Dissertation (Discussion) Conclusion Evaluation Bibliography: Books, Articles/Journals, Podcasts, Websites Presentation slides Project proposal form 25,431 words across 54 pages Please feel free to use particularly for revision on Benjamin Disraeli and Victorian politics. I wrote this when I was 17, before starting university, so the language is often a little clunky! For those studying Disraeli at university, use this as inspiration rather than a strictly accurate journal piece.
