centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and
East-West direction. All the other streets of the city run parallel to these
roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using

roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross- streets in your model.
A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North-
South direction and another in the East-West direction. Each cross street
is referred to in the following manner: If the 2nd street running in the North-
South direction and 5th in the East-West direction meet at some crossing,
then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:

 SOCIAL SCIENCE (087)
CLASS IX (2025-2026)

1. ASSIGNMENT -1 – HISTORY: CHAPTER-1 -THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

Question No. 1 to 6 are based on the given text.
Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
In the past, peasants and workers had participated in revolts against
increasing taxes and food scarcity. But they lacked the means and
programmes to carry out full-scale measures that would bring about a change
in the social and economic order. This was left to those groups within the third
estate who had become prosperous and had access to education and new
ideas. The eighteenth-century witnessed the emergence of social groups,
termed the middle class, who earned their wealth through expanding
overseas trade and from the manufacture of goods such as woolen and silk
textiles that were either exported or bought by the richer members of society.
In addition to merchants and manufacturers, the third estate included
professions such as lawyers or administrative officials. All of these were
educated and believed that no group in society should be privileged by birth.
Rather, a person’s social position must depend on his merit. These ideas
envisaging a society based on freedom and equal laws and opportunities for
all were put forward by philosophers such as John Locke and Jean Jacques
Rousseau. In his Two Treatises of Government, Locke sought to refute the
doctrine of the divine and absolute right of the monarch. Rousseau carried the
idea forward, proposing a form of government based on a social contract
between people and their representatives. In The Spirit of the Laws,
Montesquieu proposed a division of power within the government between
the legislative, the executive and the judiciary. This model of government was
put into force in the USA after the thirteen colonies declared their
independence from Britain. The American constitution and its guarantee of
individual rights was an important example for political thinkers in France.

2. ASSIGNMENT -2 – POLITICAL SCIENCE: CHAPTER-1

Question No. 1 to 6 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully
and answer the questions:
In Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf led a military coup in October 1999. He
overthrew a democratically elected government and declared himself the
‘Chief Executive’ of the country. Later he changed his designation to President
and in 2002 held a referendum in the country that granted him a five-year
extension. Pakistani media, human rights organisations and democracy
activists said that the referendum was based on malpractices and fraud. In
August 2002 he issued a ‘Legal Framework Order’ that amended the
Constitution of Pakistan. According to this Order, the President can dismiss
the national and provincial assemblies. The work of the civilian cabinet is
supervised by a National Security Council which is dominated by military
officers. After passing this law, elections were held to the national and
provincial assemblies. So, Pakistan has had elections, elected representatives
have some powers. But the final power rested with military officers and
General Musharraf himself. Clearly, there are many reasons why Pakistan
under General Musharraf should not be called a democracy. People may have
elected their representatives to the national and provincial assemblies but
those elected representatives were not really the rulers. They cannot take the
final decisions. The power to take final decision rested with army officials and
with General Musharraf, and none of them were elected by the people. This
happens in many dictatorships and monarchies. They formally have an elected
parliament and government but the real power is with those who are not
elected. In a few countries, the real power was with some external powers and
not with locally elected representatives. This cannot be called people’s rule.
1. What is the meaning of Referendum?
a. Direct vote in which the entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject
a particular proposal
b. A form of government in which the rulers are elected by the people
c. A system where the majority or elected representatives are allowed to take
decisions on behalf of all the people
d. All of these.

2. Assertion (A): Pakistan not considered a democratic country even after

having elections
Reason (R): Despite elections to the national and provincial assemblies, the
final powers rested with General Musharraf and military officers.

a. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

b. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c. A is true but R is false.
d. A is false but R is true.

3. After the passage of the ________, elections were held to the national and
state assemblies.
a. Referendum
b. Legal Framework Order
c. Both (Military rule) and (Legal Framework Order)
d. Military rule

4. Does the given source explain the significance of the which feature of
democracy?
a. Democracy must be based on a free and fair election
b. In a democracy, the final decision-making power must rest with those
elected by the people
c. In a democracy, each adult citizen must have one vote
