According to Paine , why did Britain protect the colonies

Answer 1

Aside from that, Britain also knows that America has resources that Britain can really make use of. This is why they protect the colonies because they have resources that they want to protect as well. These two reasons are the main reasons as to why Paine believes that Britain really would protect the colonies.
