__Thought Questions__ 7.No, because it would be a tyranny if just the leader made the decisions. The leader should share the all of the information with his followers so they can make a decision together. The pigs in animal farm did this a lot because it was easy for the pigs to take advantage of the other animals because the animals were never told the truth. 8. They used propaganda on the animals to make them think that it was fair that the pigs were sleeping in the farmhouse. It was easy for the pigs to do this because the animals listen to them because they were always being told that the pigs were smarter than them and that the pigs were always right. The animals couldn't read and write so the pigs would change the law and the animals wouldn't know.
