The passage below was written by Thomas Paine in his 1776 pamphlet, Common Sense. The powers of governing…in the hands of the king…himself such an…enemy to liberty…is he…a proper person to say to these colonies, "YOU SHALL MAKE NO LAWS BUT WHAT I PLEASE." Based on this passage, which action would Thomas Paine support? Requesting that the king send new leaders for the colonies Sending gifts to the king in the hope of better treatment Removing colonists who supported independence Separating to form a new nation and government
Separating to form a new nation and government, in the passage he says" is he…a proper person to say to these colonies, YOU SHALL MAKE NO LAWS BUT WHAT I PLEASE." he is indicating that the nation should be one and the government shouldn't be connected to out independence.
