Hello Javi,
You´re the only one who wants to review. Here you have my comments:
QUESTION 1
In 1814 69 absolutist deputies asked Ferdinand VII to restore absolutism and their manifesto compared the situation of Spain with the Persian legend. They said that it was time to return to order after the "chaos of the Cortes de Cádiz".
QUESTIONS 2 AND 3
Instead of "Hacienda", you should say "Finance minister"
QUESTION 4
The Wealth of Nations explains the theory of economic liberalism, the ideology on which capitalism is based.
QUESTION 7
The Internationale was the official anthem of Second Internationale. Nowadays it´s still the official anthem of the Socialist and Communist parties. The translation of the original song in French was very difficult to sing in English. This is why Billy Bragg made a more singable version.
That´s all. Good luck for the exam.
