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 believe 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

整个题就看的不大明白！

(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.

结论：暴君应该显示出对于宗教非常的虔诚的样子

前提：民众对于那些他们认为对于上帝虔诚的统治者会更加宽容；多数民众认为上帝是

简单的说就是人民认为上帝很牛，因此觉得天人合一的君王也很牛，所以君王应该和很

牛的上帝显得很亲近。

假设是人民们相信存在超越人类的某种力量（额的神哪……）
