AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Conservative regimes set up in 1815 were autocratic and did not tolerate criticism or dissent. They imposed censorship laws to control what was said in newspapers, books, plays, and songs that reflected ideas of liberty and freedom associated with the French Revolution. Activities that questioned the legitimacy of autocratic governments were curbed.

The answer is taken directly from the passage describing post-1815 conservative regimes. Examiners look for two key points: (1) they were autocratic and did not tolerate dissent, and (2) they used censorship laws against liberal/revolutionary ideas in the press, books, plays, and songs. Mentioning both earns full 2 marks. Keep it concise — no need to discuss the Vienna Congress or other details here.
