Question

Take on the role of a colonist in pre-Revolutionary America. In a letter to your (fictional) cousin in Great Britain, make your argument for the colonies' independence, using specific references to the reasoning and evidence in Henry's speech or Paine's text.

Answer 1

When writing, you should mention all the tyrannical deeds that the king has committed against the people of the colonies. It's easy if you take Paine's texts as a source because they are full of evidence. The simplest can be that Monarchies are bad because all men are equal so a king cannot rule since he is equal to all other people.
