Question

Based on the events in Robinson Crusoe, which statement most likely reflects Defoe's beliefs about governors and subjects? A. The worst governors are the ones who force their subjects to conform to different religious practices. B. The worst governors are the ones who refuse to use physical threats to control their subjects. C. The best governors are the ones who maintain control of their subjects with manipulation and mental control. D. The best governors are the ones who work hard and follow honest practices when managing subjects.

Answer 1

I believe that Dafoe in Robinson Crusoe believed that the best governors are the ones who work hard and follow honest practices when managing subjects.
This may not have been his thinking when he got stranded on the island initially since he was a slave-owner in Brazil but with time and reflection and his relation with his slave Friday I believe he came around to this idea.

Answer 2

The best governors are the ones who work hard and follow honest practices when managing subjects.
