Answer:

A.to justify the American use of force

Explanation:

The British acted like they owned not only the land, but the fate of people in it. By going to American and doing whatever they wanted, they were seen as thieves and killers. As criminals. And to justify the idea of fighting back and killing the British, they should be exposed for what they were in the yes of the Thomas Paine, thieves and murderers.

How's my essay on Hammurabi's code was just.
Lady bird [3.3K]

First of all ... it's well written, using good mechanics. The grammar,
spelling, and sentence structure are all good.  That's half the battle.

Content-wise, I was fascinated during most of this essay.  I had always read
how so much of Biblical law and modern law are based on Hammurabi, and
how revolutionary he was in his time.  But I've never seen any actual quotes
or selections from his "Code", until just this minute in your essay.

Also content-wise, I think I would have started to take exception with old
Hammo, about the time you get down to #195 .  I think I would have written
that even though he certainly was just and benevolent for his time, that
doesn't mean that he did not occasionally fly clear off the rails. 
For example, MOST of today's civilized world recognizes that it is NOT
justice to cut off the hands of a thief, or even of one who strikes his father.
Hammurabi was definitely headed in the right direction, and was a true
visionary in his time, but he still definitely needed some polish around
some of the rough edges.

By the way ... Now that you're more familiar with this Code than most folks
are, you might find it fascinating to have a look in Exodus, starting at the
beginning of Chapter 21 and going to the first few verses of Chapter 23.

And in conclusion ... I still want to know whether you're the long person or
the short one in your photo.
