What is Queen Elizabeth's purpose in this excerpt? to persuade Parliament that the method of choosing successors to the throne b
ased 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
I believe the correct answer is: to persuade Parliament that
simply because she has a child does not guarantee that the child will be a
competent ruler.
If you are considering the excerpt from Queen Elizabeth’s “Response
to Parliament's Request That She Marry”, I believe the correct answer is to
persuade the Parliament that If she does not bear a child, there will be a competent
ruler chosen, but the country would benefit more from her child succeeding the
throne.
