Which lines in this excerpt from the poem "A Political Reverie" by Mary Otis Warren imply that America was an oppressed and exploited nation?

a. Nor orphan's spoils become the minion's prey;
b. Nor injur'd cities weep their slaughter'd sons;
c. And standing troops, the bane of every state,
Forever spurn'd, shall be remov'd as far
d.And stretch their empire o'er the wide domain.
On a broad base the commonwealth shall stand
e. When crowns and sceptres are grown useless things, Nor petty pretors plunder here for kings

That's weird, I haven't saw this questions in any of my tests yet. And I've attempted every mastery test there is. It might've been in one of the ones that I was excluded from..

Perhaps "And standing troops, the bane of every state,
Forever spurn'd, shall be remov'd as far" 

Standing troops represent the police and there must be a reason they are the "bane of every state"

This is my guess.
