Answer 2

The correct answer is A) "The person of the king is scared and to attack him in any way is to attack religion itself. The respect given to a King is religious in nature."

This is the correct answer because the idea of a social contract is one in which citizens agree to give up some of their individual rights in order to establish a government that will protect their inalienable rights. These rights can include helping to protect an individuals property, freedom of speech, etc. In the excerpt above, the King has all power and the citizens have no say in the government, as they may be punished for speaking out.
