Theories of “relative deprivation” and “social disequilibrium” are sometimes viewed as “demand side” revolutions. Theories of political opportunities and revolutionary mobilization, on the other hand, are sometimes referred to as “supply side” revolutions. In other words, “supply side” revolutions are top-down affairs (revolutionary leaders mobilize the masses for action) while “demand side” are bottom-up affairs (aggrieved revolutionary masses spontaneously mobilize themselves). Which of the two better explain the U.S. and French Revolutions?
1) Supply Side: If you believe that revolutions result from elites who mobilize the masses, explain why by posting an essay.
2) Demand Side: If you believe that revolutions result from the masses who spontaneously mobilize themselves, explain why by posting an essay.
Choose between 1) or 2)
Post a brief essay in either the Supply Side or the Demand Side, supporting your argument with source-cited facts about the U.S. and French revolutions.
