Read this quotation. In England, a King . . . [is] allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year . . . and worshipped into the

He thinks it started out of sinfulness and for that in his belief in God that God stands in opposition to monarchy, this is proved by the many pages he wrote; Paine refutes the theory that hereditary succession reduces civil wars, because there has been at the least maybe ight civil wars and nineteen rebellions in Britain's history which Paine believes only results in only producing bad governing and bloodshed.

Clearly, Paine thinks the English monarchy to be a waste of resources. The King is whorshipped and receives an inmense allowance from the government for basically nothing, since with the advent of a Prime Minister his function is mostly symbolic. Any honest man who makes his living through hard work is more useful for society than all the kings that have ruled throught history. If this wasn't clear enough, Paine refers to them as "crowned ruffians", mere criminals that are seen as something else only thanks to their hereditary position.

  What factors led to the overwhelmingly high mortality rate among the early jamestown colonists
liraira [26]
Lack of incentive - The lack of incentive among the colonists to complete important tasks led to the tasks not getting done. Many settlers were "gentlemanly" - Since most of the settlers considered themselves "gentlemanly", they considered the hard work of a settler "beneath" them and consequently did not get most of the basic things needed to survive done.
Expectations of finding gold - The expectations of finding gold (and mining it) led to people neglecting things such as gathering food, setting up shelter, etc. Location - The location that the settlers chose to settle in at was great for defending against naval incursions but terrible for living conditions. Bad Relations with Natives- The relations with the local Native Americans(which were all mistakenly grouped up into the Powhatan Indians) were not as good as they could be; if they had had a better relationship they could have traded for food and/or shelter which could have led to lower mortality rates
