Read the excerpt from Queen Elizabeth's Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry. The realm shall not remain destitute of
any heir that may be a fit governour, and peradventure more beneficial to the realm, than such offspring as may come of me: For though I be never so careful of your well-doing, and mind ever so to be, yet may my issue grow out of kind, and become perhaps ungracious. What is Queen Elizabeth's purpose in this excerpt? to persuade Parliament that the method of choosing successors to the throne based simply on birthright needs to be revised to persuade Parliament that her child should not be considered a possible choice for successor to the English throne to persuade Parliament that simply because she has a child does not guarantee that the child will be a competent ruler to persuade Parliament how catastrophic it could be if they acted ungraciously toward her or her child
<span>to persuade Parliament that simply because she has a child does not guarantee that the child will be a competent ruler
Queen Elizabeth is saying that even if she did have a child, there is no guarantee that that child would grow up to be a suitable ruler. What if they became ungracious as they got older? </span>
