D - He thought a popular government garnered strength more so than a forceful government.

Explanation:

Popular government is where the monarchy or the power of command in the nation's body holds in its own hands. It is the principle that the authority of a state and its government are created and sustained by the consent of its citizens through its elected representatives, who are the source of all political power.

Forceful government is a principle whereby the citizens have no authority to sustain a state. The government forceful commands and determines all that happen.

A popular government is more favorable than a forced government.
