Using Source 1 and 2 and Your Own Knowledge. Do You Agree That the Chartists Justified Physical Force at Newport Because They Wanted to Gain the Franchise for Purely Political Principle?

The Newport Rising on the 4th of November 1839 was the last large-scale rebellion in the British Isles with a report 1000 to 5000 chartists and chartist sympathisers (made up of mainly coal miners from the surrounding areas of Monmouthshire).

Source 2, on the other hand, does lend some support to the initial statement. It starts off by highlighting the fact that moral force should be the...
