Which ideas did people better understand through plays and songs?

Correct answer: Liberty and justice

The direct answer is B: plays and songs helped people understand liberty and justice. Many ordinary people could not read long political writings, so drama, songs and public performances communicated new ideas in an memorable form. Liberty means freedom from arbitrary control, and justice means fair treatment and rights. These forms of culture made revolutionary ideas familiar to wider society. Option B is correct because liberty and justice were central revolutionary values that could be presented through simple public media. Option A is not the best answer: feudal dues and absolutism were political subjects, but the question asks which ideas people understood better through these popular forms. Option C is wrong because the divine right of kings supported royal authority, whereas revolutionary culture questioned such authority. Option D is wrong because colonial profit was an economic issue, not the main civic idea spread through these songs and plays. Memory cue: public performance made difficult political ideals easy to hear, remember and discuss.
