In the line, "By this wise prejudice we are taught to look with horror on those children of their country, who are prompt rashly to hack that aged parent in pieces, and put him into the kettle of magicians, in hopes that by their poisonous weeds, and wild incantation, they may regenerate the paternal constitution, and renovate their father's lives," the "children" are being presented as:
a) visionaries naively believing that things can improve
b) anarchists favoring the abolition of all constraints
c) demagogues appealing to the basest elements of human nature
d) revolutionaries caring little for tradition and continuity
e) self-seekers betraying their country for personal gain
