Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10837)
The correct answer choice is (A)
This question asks for the main point of the passage, so the answer is prephrased in the VIEWSTAMP discussion above: The author’s main point is that the paradox of omnipotence presents problems to sovereigns that can be addressed, if not entirely solved, with constitutional amendments
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice, as it basically repeats the prephrase above: the paradox poses problems that are not necessarily solved with constitutional amendments.
Answer choice (B): The passage does not deal with “abstract theoretical paradoxes,” but rather focuses on one single specific paradox, providing concrete examples of the practical ramifications of the referenced paradox.
Answer choice (C): In the final paragraph, the author points out that issues persisted after the Glorious Revolution, not having been solved entirely but rather shifted from the Crown to the Parliament. This choice is not even accurate, so it cannot possibly provide the main point of the passage.
Answer choice (D): It is accurate that the Glorious Revolution did not provide a complete solution to the issue under discussion, but this is not the main point of the passage as discussed and prephrased above.
Answer choice (E): This choice is accurate, referencing the existence of a particular paradox, but it does not represent the author’s main point that omnipotence can be problematic for a sovereign, and constitutional amendments can address the issue but might not provide a complete solution.
