Model Answer

Mazzini's broader political goal was to end monarchical rule established after the Vienna Congress and build a unified Italian republic within a wider alliance of free nations. He believed God had intended nations as natural units of mankind, so nation-states based on liberty and democracy had to replace kingdoms and empires across Europe.

Explanation

Examiners look for two linked ideas: (1) opposition to monarchy/conservative order and (2) the vision of unified democratic nation-states. Simply saying "unify Italy" scores only partial marks — you must mention the wider European/democratic dimension (Young Europe) to earn both marks. Keep it concise; no need to list all countries.
