    • Beggar to the giver

    • Followers to the leader

    • Clay to the potter

    • The creator to the creation

    Correct Answer
    A. Clay to the potter
    Explanation
    In 'The Law', Bastiat mentions that the relationship between the public and the legislator becomes like the relationship between clay and the potter. This analogy implies that the legislator has the power to shape and mold the public according to their own will, just as a potter shapes clay. The legislator is seen as the one who has control and authority over the public, determining their rights and freedoms. This analogy highlights the potential danger of giving too much power to the legislator and the need for limitations and checks on their authority.
