Read the source below and answer the question that follows:

In a lecture delivered at the University of Sorbonne in 1882, the French philosopher

Ernst Renan (1823-92) outlined his understanding of what makes a nation. The lecture
was subsequently published as a famous essay entitled ‘Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?’
(‘What is a Nation?’). In this essay Renan criticises the notion suggested by others that
a nation is formed by a common language, race, religion, or territory: ‘A nation is the
culmination of a long past of endeavours, sacrifice and devotion. A heroic past, great
men, glory, that is the social capital upon which one bases a national idea. To have
common glories in the past, to have a common will in the present, to have performed
great deeds together, to wish to perform still more, these are the essential conditions of
being a people. A nation is therefore a large-scale solidarity … Its existence is a daily
plebiscite … A province is its inhabitants; if anyone has the right to be consulted, it is
the inhabitant. A nation never has any real interest in annexing or holding on to a
country against its will. The existence of nations is a good thing, a necessity even. Their
existence is a guarantee of liberty, which would be lost if the world had only one law and
only one master.’
