These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the serv
ice of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: ’Tis dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it should be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. 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. Even the expression is impious, for so unlimited a power can belong only to GOD. Tyranny, as used in this passage, is BEST defined as
A) severe or harsh behavior.
B) government by one single ruler.
C) threats or violence against people.
D) unlimited use of power by a ruler or government.

The present and the past are similarly related by the fact that you know what happened. For example you know what’s going to happen to you right now? You mostly do. Do you know what happened in the past? Yes.
