Which form of government did de Maistre consider stable?
Republic
Monarchy
Direct democracy
Socialism
Answer
Monarchy, according to de Maistre, offers stability due to its traditional and hierarchical nature. The monarch, as a legitimate and revered leader, embodies national unity and social order. By contrast, de Maistre viewed republicanism and democracy as unstable as they depend on the fickle will of the masses and lack the divine right and authority inherent in monarchy.
