Question

The Tories were members of one of two political parties; they had Royalist preferences and supported the church and state already existing.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

This is True. They supported monarchism and both the Anglican church and Catholicism and were supported by them in return.

Answer 2

The correct option is "TRUE"

Tory is the name by which one names or supports the British Conservative Party.  It is considered that this group was founded by Thomas Osborne, Count of Danby and Lord Chancellor with Charles II. Apparently its use in English politics was introduced in the wake of the crisis that sparked the exclusion law of 1678-1681. The Whigs were those who supported the exclusion of Jacob from York, converted to Catholicism, from the thrones of Scotland, England and Ireland, while the Tories supported him; they were considered conservative and defenders of the interests of the landlords.
