Answer: A. the portion of the country who quietly supported the war.

President Nixon referred to the "Silent Majority" in some of his political speeches. This was the name he gave to the part of the population that did not support the anti-war protests. They constituted the every-day American citizens, who were not particularly vocal about their political preferences, but secretly supported the war. His campaign strategy was successful, as this "silent majority" greatly contributed to his victory.

Sati [7]

Answer: Because of his inflexible attitude, the King had become a menace to his people. Although he had ruled for 40 years by mutual consent of his countrymen, the King had placed himself in an advantageous position by mounting a large army to defend his castle, and had secured great wealth and a very large kingdom.

As the King looked down at his gnarled fingers, he realized that to incite the people with even more taxes would be foolish. At his age, and with his health failing, soon his sons and daughters would inherit his vast kingdom, and his more than adequate wealth. Why risk the chance of having opposing forces descend upon his castle? To enhance his wealth at this time could only lead to disaster.
