As a Whig, Rockingham primarily opposed which political faction?

  • Labour Party

  • Jacobins

  • Tories

  • Federalists

Answer

The Tories, a rival political faction in 18th-century Britain, were the primary target of Rockingham's opposition as a prominent Whig. The Whigs, led by Rockingham, advocated for limiting royal power, expanding civil liberties, and promoting parliamentary sovereignty. In contrast, the Tories supported the monarchy, the established church, and a more limited role for the government.
