It is certain, that seditions, wars, and contempt or breach of the laws are not so much to be imputed to the wickedness of the subjects, as to the bad state of a dominion. For men are not born fit for citizenship but must be made so. Besides, men’s natural passions are everywhere the same; and if wickedness more prevails, and more offences are committed in one commonwealth than in another, it is certain that the former has neither enough pursued the end of unity, nor framed its laws with sufficient forethought; and that, therefore, it has failed in making quite good its right as a commonwealth. Which among the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the passage given above?
Seditions, wars, and breach of the laws are inevitable in every dominion.
It is not the people, but the sovereign who is responsible for all the problems of any dominion.
That dominion is the best which pursues the aim of unity and has laws for good citizenship.
It is impossible for men to establish a good dominion.
(a) Incorrect - The passage does not assert that problems like wars and sedition are unavoidable. (b) Incorrect - It is overly simplistic to blame the sovereign alone for all problems in a state. (c) Correct - The inference that a state with well-thought-out laws and a focus on unity is ideal, is directly supported by the passage. (d) Incorrect - The passage does not suggest that establishing a good government is unachievable, only that it requires proper preparation and education.
