Detailed explanation-1: -Claudius explains that he acted as he did, burying Polonius secretly and not punishing Hamlet for the murder, because both the common people and the queen love Hamlet very much. As a king and as a husband, he did not wish to upset either of them.
Detailed explanation-2: -What two reasons does Claudius give Laertes for failing to apprehend Hamlet and punish him for Polonius’ death? Out of respect for Hamlet’s mom (it’ll hurt his mom if Claudius hurt Hamlet) and because the public adores Hamlet-he doesn’t want the uprising.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the King, why has he not taken action against Hamlet, who, Claudius says, “Pursued [his] life"? The King has not taken action against Hamlet because the public loves him, and overlooks all of his faults.
Detailed explanation-4: -After Claudius tells Laertes that Hamlet killed Laertes’ father, Polonius, Laertes asks why Hamlet has not been punished for his actions. Claudius claims that he cannot act against Hamlet because Gertrude and the public love him too much.
