Question

In England a king hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which in plain terms, is to impoverish the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain!—Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine criticizes the king for

destroying the society with war and waste
being dishonest in all his political dealings
how little money he puts into the government
giving away land to foreign governments

Answer 1

That'd be A, by the way.~
