Governor Hopper chose Jefferson Smith for the Senate because he was seeking a candidate who would be easily manipulated and would not threaten the established political power. Smith, an idealistic and naive leader of a boys' camp, seemed like an unlikely candidate who could be easily controlled. The governor believed that Smith's innocence and inexperience would allow him to be a puppet for the corrupt interests Behind the Scenes. This decision ultimately backfires as Smith’s authenticity and determination inspire others, challenging the status quo.
