A revolutionary slogan is a short and memorable expression of the ideas, demands, or hopes connected with a movement. It can reveal what people opposed, what change they wanted, and sometimes which social groups supported the movement. For this reason, slogans can help students understand rather than merely memorize the history of a revolution.

Option A is correct because slogans often indicate both a revolution’s main demand and its social base. They are not just decoration, and they are not unrelated to history. However, a slogan should be interpreted in its historical context instead of being treated as a complete description of every event. This makes the answer useful for examination-based historical reasoning.

A constitution gives an institutional framework after revolution. For exams treat constitution as an important result.

The long-term impact of a revolution is not limited to its date, place, or one leader. A strong answer should cover changes in government and power, social groups and rights, economic policies, and ideas such as liberty, equality, or nationalism. Therefore, option B is correct. Naming only a leader does not explain the broad and lasting consequences of a revolution. Exam tip: Organise the answer under 3–4 headings and add one relevant example to each.

Balanced comparison identifies differences along with similarities. For exams use one framework but keep contexts separate.
