Social Science — CBSE Class 10 board question

Conservative regimes set up in 1815 were autocratic because:

1. They did not tolerate criticism and dissent — they curbed all activities that questioned the legitimacy of autocratic governments.
2. They imposed censorship laws — to control content in newspapers, books, plays and songs that reflected ideas of liberty and freedom associated with the French Revolution.

The question asks you to support a given statement, so begin each point as evidence/reason, not a definition. Both points must come directly from the textbook line: "Conservative regimes set up in 1815 were autocratic. They did not tolerate criticism and dissent… imposed censorship laws…" Examiners expect these two specific points. One mark per valid argument.
