AP European History
Unit 5 – Conflict, Crisis, and Reaction in the Late 18th Century
Topic 5.3
What limitation would governmental records from the Victorian era potentially have when studying political dissent in Britain?
Political dissent was illegal, so there would be no records of it at all.
Governmental records were poorly kept during the Victorian era leading to many inaccuracies.
They may underrepresent or distort dissenting voices due to state censorship and control over information flow.
Governmental records were usually destroyed after each new administration took office, making reference impossible today.
