which of the following statements best paraphrases this quote: “governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes”?

governments need to be around for a long time in order to be successful.

keeping a government long term is always the best option in all cases.

it is not a good idea to change a long standing government for trivial or fleeting reasons.

governments should be changed when the people are unhappy, even if the reasons for their unrest are minor and petty.
