12. Aristotle wrote that a tyrant would be well advised to put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are more tolerant of unjust treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-rearing and pious. Moreover as most subjects believer that even the gods are on the side of the ruler, the subjects are less apt to move against him.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which Aristotle’s argument depends?

(A) The subjects of tyrannical rulers typically believe that there is a power other than the mortal.

(B) A tyrant cannot rule unless he has divine power on his side.

(C) The subjects of tyrannical rulers can rarely be fooled by appearances.

(D) Tyrants who are devoted to religion will not treat their subjects unjustly

(E) For a tyrant, the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion is a more effective means of ruling than unjust treatment.

Answer A implies that there are the gods.

By the way, even now the argument by Aristotle is not out-dated in some place.

And as for most people living somewhere, even they know there is not any god at all, they still pretend they believe that the gods are existent. Because they learn from their experience that once you begin to doubt the existence of the gods, you are stepping into danger.

For example, Socrates, the philosopher in a democratic society, was sentenced to death because of his doubt about the gods.

However, never think that if Socrates lived in a modern, constitutionalised democracy (e.g. the USA), he wouldn't doubt the existence of 'the gods'. Rational thinking is the destiny of him and the nature of such a person.
