Question

Complete the sentences based on your reading of this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift:

Answer 1

The principle breeders refers to poor Catholics. They are principal breeders because they don't do much other than breed and have a lot of new children who are in turn also catholic. These people thus support the catholic leaders who do with the country as they wish.

The good protestants are the people who left the country and left it too poor and uneducated. This is a bit satirical because he doesn't really believe that they are good people because they abandoned instead of making the country a better place.
