Question

Gulliver starts off by explaining that his home is a unpire uniting England, Ireland, Scotland, and plantations in America under one king.

This kingdom is governed by a parliament made up of two houses (as well as the American Congress includes both the Senate and the House of Representatives). (Please see this below for the history of the Parliament.)

The first is the House of Peers, now called the House of Lords, an assembly of members of the landed aristocracy.

The second house is the House of Commons, elected by freely by the people.

Gulliver adds some information about England's law courts, treasury, armed forces, religion, and recent history.

After listening to all that Gulliver has to say, the Brobdingnagian King asks him many tough questions, including: how lords are educated to suit them for government? How do lords make laws without taking into account personal interest or greed? How does the government make sure that its elected officials are in the good of the state and not for their own glory or profit?

Does the religion go to ask about the court system: does religion or politics ever factor into legal decisions? How can judges presume to interpret laws that they do not make?

As for taxes, the King finds it very strange that a state can run out of money and earn money like a private person.

And how about differences in political and religious feel - why should these private opinions be a matter of public knowledge or concern at all?

Moremore, what's all this about gambling? Does not this give people a lot of money with no work of their own?

As for Gulliver's accounts of recent English history, it all just sounds like a pile of murders, massacres, and revolutions to the King of Brobdingna

Answer 1

First of all the concept of the present day government and the working of the politics was all new and strange for the King of Brobdingna.

When Gulliver explained him about the working of the government in his state, the King of Brobdingna was shocked to know that sometimes even the people don't know whether the ruler is good or bad for them.


He was shocked to listen to the deadly fights for the throne. He did not expect that the one who has to serve the people will also kill them.
