What was Queen Elizabeth's perspective on the poor citizens of her country?

Queen Elizabeth I,  believed that the poor citizens of her country deserved help from her government so that they do not become numerous and cause harm to others in the country.

Explanation:

Due to the increase of the populace during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, poor people abounded. The rich feared that the poor might soon outnumber them and cause mayhem in society. For this reason, the monarchy decided to take the responsibility for the poor. Individuals were charged taxes from where the poor were helped.

The poor who stole and harmed others in order to sustain themselves were classified as undeserving of the government's help. Poor Acts were also passed into law so as to cater to the needs of the poor.
