Question

Did Burke most likely agree or disagree with the radical course of the French Revolution? How can you tell?

Answer 1

Sample Response: Burke most likely disagreed with the radical stage of the Revolution because he calls the Jacobins men of low class, wild and savage, and says they have no morals.

Answer 2

He disagree with the revolutions plans, not so much the revolution itself.

Because, he argued not the substitution as such but its programs: the French revolution needed to abolish the past of France and found a new, complex system, they make it work in actuality (and Burke said that it would not work). On the other hand, the American rebellion did not murder the British legacy: the different individual rights, the common law etc. For him, the uprising was supported by the very laws of British law.
