(1 point for each correct item) [ ] Let the holy church of God and all our brethren, now and in the future, learn that we grant such privileges to the Monastery of Saint Martin on the mountain of Pannonia [ ] as were received by the monastery of [ ] Monte Cassino. The monastery of Saint Martin was begun by our father and was completed by us with the help of God for our salvation and the consolidation of our kingdom. [ ] At the same time, I have taken care to immortalise in the memory of posterity the special support that I experienced as a child by the grace of Saint Martin. This is because when the storm of war broke, [ ] as one of the counties, the one in Somogy, wanted to oust me from my father s throne, a great uncertainty came upon me: what advice shall I give my disturbed soul, what should I do? Then [ ] I took an oath to Saint Martin, according to which, should I defeat my enemies [ ] thanks to his merits, then it would be right to submit all the tenth-part tax of the above-mentioned county, which is due on all properties, estates, lands, vineyards, crops and tolls, to the abbot of the same monastery immediately [ ]. (The letters-patent of the monastery of Pannonhalma, 1001/1002) [ ] Isten szent egyháza és a mi híveink valamennyien, a mostaniak és a jövendőbeliek, tudják meg, hogy a Pannónia hegyén lévő Szent Márton-monostornak [ ] olyan kiváltságot engedélyeztünk, amilyent Monte Cassino [ ] monostora kapott. Szent Márton monostorát még szülőatyánk kezdte és mi fejeztük be Isten segítségével lelkünk üdvéért és királyságunk megszilárdításáért. [ ] Gondoskodtam ugyanakkor arról is, hogy megörökítsem az utódok emlékezetében azt a különleges támogatást, amelyet Szent Márton érdemeiért gyermekkoromban megtapasztaltam. Ugyanis mikor kitört a háború vihara, [ ] mivel az egyik megye, a somogyi el akart űzni atyám székéről, nagy bizonytalanság fogott el, milyen tanácsot adjak háborgó lelkemnek, mihez fogjak? Ekkor [ ] írásbeli vizsga 1313 5 / 32 2015. május 6.

fogadalmat tettem Szent Mártonnak, ha érdemeiért [ ] ellenségeimet legyőzöm, akkor úgy jó, ha a fenti megye dézsmáját, ami minden dolga, birtoka, földje, szőlője, vetése, útvámja után jár ugyanezen monostor apátjának vessem alá haladéktalanul [ ]. (A pannonhalmi apátság kiváltságlevele, 1001/1002) a) Name the ruler during whose reign the abbey of Pannonhalma started functioning. b) Name the monastic order to which the abbey belonged. c) Name the person who started the war mentioned in the source... d) Give another word (the technical term) for the kind of tax mentioned in the source... 4 points 4. This task is about the Enlightenment. Using the source and your own knowledge, decide which system or principle Montesquieu is arguing for. Circle the number of the correct answer. (1 point for each correct item) As, in a free state, every man, considered to have a free soul, should be governed by himself, the people as a body should have legislative power; but, as this is impossible in larger states and is subject to many drawbacks in small ones, the people must have their representatives do all that they themselves cannot do. The great advantage of representatives is that they are able to discuss public business. The people are not at all appropriate for such discussions. All citizens must be granted the right to vote at the election of representatives, except for those who are in such a low position that they are to be considered people without free will. One knows the needs of one s town better than those of other towns, and one judges the ability of one s neighbours better than that of one s other compatriots. Therefore, members of the legislative body must not be drawn from the body of nation at large; it is proper for the inhabitants of each principal town to choose a representative from it. In a free state, the legislative power has the right, and must have the faculty to examine the manner in which the laws it has made have been executed. (Montesquieu On the Spirit of Laws, 1748) írásbeli vizsga 1313 6 / 32 2015. május 6.

Minthogy szabad államban minden szabad lelkű ember maga kell, hogy kormányozza magát, következtetésképpen a nép egészét kell, hogy illesse a törvényhozó hatalom. Minthogy azonban ez nagy államokban keresztülvihetetlen, és kis államokban is sok hátránnyal jár, a népnek a maga képviselői útján kell megtennie mindazt, amit maga nem tud megtenni. A képviselőknek nagy előnye, hogy az ügyeket meg tudják vitatni, a nép erre egyáltalán nem alkalmas. Minden állampolgárt meg kell, hogy illessen az a jog, hogy szavazhasson a képviselő-választáson, kivéve azokat, akik annyira alacsony helyzetben vannak, hogy úgy tekintendők, mint akiknek nincs szabad akaratuk. Az emberek jobban ismerik saját városuk szükségleteit, mint más városokéit, és mindenki jobban meg tudja ítélni szomszédai képességeit, mint más honfitársaiéit. Nem szabad tehát a törvényhozó testület tagjait általában a nemzet összességéből kiválasztani, hanem az a helyes, ha minden fontosabb helyen a lakosok maguk választanak maguk számára képviselőt. Szabad államban a törvényhozó hatalomnak joga van, és lehetősége kell, hogy legyen arra, hogy megvizsgálja, miként hajtják végre az általa hozott törvényeket. (Montesquieu: A törvények szelleméről, 1748) a) The mode of legislation: 1. system of representatives 2. direct democracy b) The right to vote: 1. general suffrage 2. suffrage based on census c) Electoral system: 1. majority (individual constituencies) system 2. proportionate (party-list) electoral system d) The executive power: 1. responsible to the king 2. responsible to the legislature 4 points 5. This task is about the outbreak of the Rákóczi Freedom Fight. Do the tasks using the source and your own knowledge. (1 point for each correct item) 'The principal reason for so many great movements has been and always will be the shameful abolition of the ancient laws [ ] consent was wrung by force, and the golden freedom of the country which was manifested in our freedom to elect our own kings was replaced, in a servile transformation, by a hereditary monarchy. [ ] the law of great importance established by the great King Andrew of Jerusalem was írásbeli vizsga 1313 7 / 32 2015. május 6.

shamefully repealed, a law which enshrined the fundamental rights of freedom of all the Estates for the glory of the nation and which granted us the perpetual right to resist kings if they do not observe the laws.[ ] It is shameful to give an account of the various miseries torturing the people, which has lost its solvency completely. [...] The people of the land say throughout the whole country that they were better off under the rule of the conquering Crescent; it can be proved with documentary evidence that the annual extortions of the Austrians are just as much as the taxes and services paid to the Ottomans in half a century. (Ferenc Rákóczi II's Proclamation, 1704) Az oly sok nagy mozgalom legfőbb oka most és mindig az ősi törvények szégyenletes eltörlése [...] kierőszakolták a beleegyezést, s az országnak a szabad királyválasztásban fennálló arany szabadságát szolgai átváltozással örökletes királyság képére alakították át. [ ] gyalázatos módon eltörölték ama nagy Jeruzsálemi Endre király nagyfontosságú törvényét, amely a nemzet dicsőségére magában foglalta az összes rendek sarkalatos szabadságjogait, s örökre megadta azt a jogot, hogy törvénysértés esetében szembeszegülhessenek a királyokkal. [ ] Szégyen elmondani, hogy a fizető képességét teljesen elvesztett népet milyen sokféle kétségbeesés gyötri. [ ] Az ország népe még most is széltében hangoztatja, hogy jobb volt a sorsa a hódító félhold uralma alatt; az meg az okmányokból bizonyítható, hogy az osztrákok évenkénti zsarolásai az ottománoknak fél évszázad alatt teljesített szolgáltatásokat is bőségesen elérik. (II. Rákóczi Ferenc kiáltványa, 1704) a) Name the two social groups whose greviances are listed in the above excerpt from the proclamation....... b) In which year did ʻKing Andrew of Jerusalem issue the law mentioned in the proclamation?... c) In which year did the period referred to by the underlined part of the text end?... 4 points írásbeli vizsga 1313 8 / 32 2015. május 6.

I wish to use this opportunity to tell you at an open session as well [ ] that the temporary seat of the parliament and government must be relocated. I consider this necessary for the following reason: I have complete faith and hope in the victory of our just cause, I believe in God and I believe in the endurance of our gallant troops, in their brave, manly, faithful conduct. The outcome of the battles, however, is in God s hand, and as our camp is already almost here, so to say, in the capital, and tomorrow it will partly be set up írásbeli vizsga 1313 9 / 32 2015. május 6.

around Buda, I am of the opinion that [ ] it could just happen that the government and representation of the country get into a state of confusion should the outcome of the battle not favour us, and these should not, must not get confused [ ]. [ ] I have always been of the opinion that Hungary is not waging an aggressive war; it does not want to acquire anything, only to keep what the king swore to, to which it is legally entitled; and as it wants no more, only this [ ] I will be surely the one to rejoice most, should we be able to ensure the just and lawful rights, honour and liberty peacefully by a reasonable compromise, taking into consideration the existing relations between us and the Austrian monarchy. (Parliamentary speech by Lajos Kossuth) Tisztelt ház!

[ ] mindig azt tartottam, hogy Magyarország nem támadó harcot visel, nem akar semmit akvirálni [szerezni], csak megtartani azt, amire a király megesküdött, amihez törvényes joga van; s miután egyebet nem, csak ezt akarja, [ ] bizonyosan én fogok leginkább örvendezni, ha a nemzetnek igazságos s törvényes jogait, becsületét, szabadságát, s azon viszonyokat tekintetbe véve, melyek köztünk s az ausztriai monarchia között fennforognak, a méltányos kiegyenlítést béke útján biztosíthatjuk.

The news of Constantinople s destruction filled every devout soul with terror, especially the neighbours, who immediately sensed their downfall. Pope Nicholas, the patron of sciences and the most pious pastor of the Catholics, was very anxious about the Pannonian people [ie. Hungarians], as he knew that their fall would mean the end of the Catholic world. He thus issued a blessed summons for a holy campaign, according to which everybody who volunteered to take upon himself the sign of the sacred cross against the Turks and perform unpaid military service would obtain complete absolution for all his sins. What is more, he sent to the Alemanns [ie. Germans], Hungarians and Poles [...] John of Capistrano, a holy man immersed in the sanctities of the divine Francis, whose gift of speech and impeccable conduct made him perfectly suitable to arouse the people, in order to encourage them to join the sacred campaign. (Antonio Bonfini) Konstantinápoly pusztulásának híre minden hívőt rémülettel töltött el, leginkább a szomszédokat, akik azonnali romlásukat érezték. Miklós pápa, a tudományok pártfogója és a katolikus nép legjámborabb pásztora nagyon féltette a pannóniaiakat [értsd: magyarokat] [ ], mert tudta, hogy azok veszte a keresztény világ végét jelentené, ezért szent hadjáratra adott ki üdvös felhívást, amely szerint mindenki, aki a török ellen önként fölveszi a szent kereszt jelét, és ingyenes katonai szolgálatot vállal, minden bűnéért teljes bocsánatot kap. Sőt, az alemannokhoz [értsd: németekhez], a magyarokhoz és a lengyelekhez elküldte [ ] az isteni Ferenc szentségébe beavatott Kapisztrán Jánost, e szent életű férfit, akit ékesszólása és feddhetetlen életmódja kiválóan alkalmassá tett a nép közötti agitációra, hogy szent szónoklattal buzdítsa az embereket az üdvös hadjáratra.
