For the first one: Thomas Paine stresses in his text again and again that the "cause of America" is not local: it's global, relevant for everyone; so I think that the best answer is this one:

<span>
is really about freedom for people all over the world

The second one:

it does not mention the king: so the first two options are not good. The quote does not mention the government either. The best answer is this one:
</span>
<span><span>
People have rights that come from no government or law or agreement.

and it does explain the quote quite well

How did the ancient Romans leave a legal legacy for future governments?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The ancient Romans left for the governments of today the legacy of Roman law, which serves as the basis for a large part of the legal systems of Europe and Latin America.

Explanation:

Roman law is the law that was applied in ancient times, first in Rome and later in the entire Roman Empire. Since the sources of ancient Roman law collected in the Corpus iuris civilis were rediscovered in Bologna in the high Middle Ages, the effect of Roman law continued into the 19th century, as the sources were considered authoritative for the law in most European countries. The establishment of the Corpus Iuris Civilis as valid imperial law in the Holy Roman Empire led to codifications in today's Europe, which conceptually led to the reception of Roman law.
