Mankind being originally equals in the order of creation, the equality could only be destroyed by some subsequent circumstance;

the distinctions of rich, and poor, may in a great measure be accounted for, and that without having recourse to the harsh, ill-sounding names of oppression and avarice. Oppression is often the CONSEQUENCE, but seldom or never the MEANS of riches; and though avarice will preserve a man from being necessitously poor, it generally makes him too timorous to be wealthy.
But there is another and greater distinction, for which no truly natural or religious reason can be assigned, and that is, the distinction of men into KINGS and SUBJECTS. Male and female are the distinctions of nature, good and bad the distinctions of heaven; but how a race of men came into the world so exalted above the rest, and distinguished like some new species, is worth inquiring into, and whether they are the means of happiness or of misery to mankind.

What is Thomas Paine's central claim in this excerpt?

A.
There will always be a distinction between kings and their subjects.
B.
The equality that humans enjoyed during creation has been ruined because of war and famine.
C.
Not all people who belonged to the upper sections of society were cruel.
D.
The differences between the kings and the subjects were not religious or natural.

Many argue that Walt Whitman is a Transcendentalist.
GarryVolchara [31]

<em>Walt Whitman</em> was a poet of the Romanticism movement and mostly all of his literary works follows the transitions of between the transcendentalist and the philosophical realism.

Transcendendalists believed that society and social institutions corrupted the purity of individuals. The guiding principle of this philosophical movement is the belief that people are at their best when they are self-reliant and independent, but a little of idealism was corrupted inside the transcendentalism adding that the body was coupled with a sense of metaphysics or higher than other things.

From the notes on <em>Leaves of Grass</em>, Whitman should be considered a transcendentalist because in this collection the poems involves the themes of the body and soul. It stands both for the individual self and all of the humanity, declaring that the body is one and the same as the soul. His writings followed the transcendentalism with idealistic thoughts, stating that the peacefulness of the body is better accomplished with the sense of self-reliance and independence.
