Question

Read this passage, which Paine wrote to

Answer 1

Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth.

and the next one's answer is:

- The words tyranny and slavery suggest that Britain abuses its power and mistreats the colonists.

- The negative connotations of tyranny and slavery illustrate disgust with Britain's behavior toward the colonists.
