Question
Why does More think it is in a king's interest to ensure the prosperity of his people?
Solution
VerifiedMore believes that it is a King's best interest to ensure the prosperity of his people because this leads to greater peace. It is not the happy and prosperous who are "eager for revolution" (pg 446) but the poor and discontented. More writes that a king "loses his dignity" (pg 446) when he lives a life of indulgence and pleasure while maintaining authority over beggars. He is behaving as the keeper of a jail rather than a king.
