The 17th to mid 19th century political spectrum quiz

As we start to study the development of Politics and the concept of a political spectrum that captures how we apply our beliefs to the type of leaders we feel are best we would like for you to take a quick quiz.

Please answer based on your instincts and know that your answers will not necessarily reflect how you might land on a modern-day political spectrum. The questions will help us to think about how political ideology was first developed though. Have fun and when you are finished please be sure to record what eighteenth or nineteenth-century political group you might have agreed with.
