Answer 1

Mobs can be easily swayed and can get out of control if given power

Step-by-step explanation:

In the play, Brutus gives his speech before Antony. Brutus successfully began to persuade the crowd to support he and the conspirators. Then after hearing Antony's speech, the crowd was riled up and wanted to avenge Caesar. This shows that the crowd is easily swayed due to their ability to switch sides quickly. I hope this helps! Good luck :)
