As to our City of Dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose, in the most convenient parts of it, and butchers we may be

assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.
Which statement best describes Swift’s use of understatement in this excerpt?

He states that “roasting pigs” is more difficult than roasting children.
He states that butchers would have a problem roasting a child “as we do roasting pigs.”
He states that butchers are always “wanting” for “roasting pigs.”
He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as “roasting pigs.”

victus00 [196]

Answer:

D.A Supreme Court is needed to judge actions based not on what the Constitution says, but on the “spirit” of the law, or the intended effect of the law at the time it was written.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court is made up of several judges, and the characteristic they all share is the fact that they are knowledgeable scholars of the law. This is the main reason why their advice is needed. Over time, our social context, our language, and our experiences as a country change. This can affect our interpretation of the Constitution. This is why it is important for the judges to interpret the "spirit" of the law, or the intended effect of the law at the time it was written.
