Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Danforth: You misunderstand, sir; I cannot pardon these when twelve are already hanged for the same crime. It is not just.
What does the statemene indicate about Danforth’s agenda?
Offering pardons will not allow him to stop witchcraft from happening.
Everyone accused should be convicted.
He wants to do only what is “just” and good.
He has to protect his reputation, and if he pardons them, then people will think he did not do his job well.
