The importance of political cartoons lay not only in humour but in what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They used visual symbols to comment on power and events

Political cartoons used pictures, symbols, exaggeration, and humour to express opinions about rulers, institutions, and important events. Because an image could communicate a message quickly, even people with limited reading ability could understand or discuss it. A cartoon might show a powerful person in a ridiculous form or represent an abstract idea through a recognizable symbol. In this way, cartoons were part of political communication and could encourage criticism, awareness, and public discussion.

Option A is correct because it explains how visual symbols were used to comment on power and events. Option B is unrelated: cartoons were not legal tax receipts. Option C wrongly restricts them to private royal entertainment, and option D confuses criticism with the ending of press freedom. Their importance lay in making political messages accessible and memorable through visual language.
