Which of the following arguments did Thomas Paine include in Common Sense?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

A monarchy is a dangerous form of government.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" is a political pamphlet that argues for the American colonies' right to be independent of the British crown. The book would become the crux of the American revolt against the British authority.

In his book, Paine presents an argument supporting the thirteen colonies and their right to be free of British authority. He discussed how the monarchy, in general, and all monarchy in particular, is a dangerous form of authority or governance that one can be put under. He declares that <em>"a thirst for absolute power is the natural disease of monarchy."</em> Furthermore, he added, <em>"monarchy and succession have laid (not this or that kingdom only) but the world in blood and ashes. ’Tis a form of government which the word of God bears testimony against, and blood will attend it."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
