Answer 1

Swift approved of powerful political groups 3. only if individual members were reasonable and responsible for their own behavior.
It is known that Swift was quite a political writer, his Gulliver novel being an allegory of the political state of affairs in his country. What he though of these groups was quite honorable - he didn't think they should exist solely because of money or because the Queen said so.
