This group could live with or without the king, wanted some additional changes and supported violence only if it was justified.

• A. Royalists
• B. Conservatives
• C. Radicals
• D. Moderates

Answer: (D)

Moderates are the ones who seek gradual reform and a balance between order and change. They’re flexible about the form of government, willing to accept the king in a limited or even no role if needed, and they want some additional reforms but not a complete overturn of the system. They also oppose using violence as a primary tool and endorse it only when it’s clearly justified to defend the state or prevent greater harm. This combination—flexibility about monarchy, a desire for measured changes, and restraint in using violence—fits the description best. Royalists cling to the old order, Radicals push for sweeping reforms and accept broad use of force, and Conservatives favor preserving the existing structure with limited changes, making Moderates the best match.
