Unfortunately, you forgot to include the information about page 13, or the excerpt of the text so we could know what is this about. We do not know what was n page 13, just you know it.
However, trying to help you we can comment based on our knowledge of this topic.
The Tlaxcalan leaders joined the Spanish conquistadors. What this suggests about the relationship between the Tlaxcalans and the Aztecs was that teh Tlaxcalans were enemies of teh Aztecs.
And this is correct because the Aztecs were great warriors that wage war and took prisoners. The Great Aztec Empire was a dominant one, and force other Mesoamerican Indian tribes to pay tribute. So we can say that those other small tribes or less powerful tribes had to pay tribute if they wanted to be on peaceful terms with the Aztecs.
That is why the Tlaxcalans and other tribes such as teh Chilollans decide to join forces with Hernan Cortés and teh Spanish conquerors. Together, they showed strong opposition to the Aztecas. And that was a good advantage, considered that the Spanish conquerors had horses, spades, blades, and fire weapons that impressed the Native Indians.
Answer:
In the excerpt, Thomas Paine is pointing out at the fact that peaceful means have been ineffective, or are likely to be ineffective, in convincing the British King, to grant the American colonies independence.
He is using a metaphor to illustrate what would happen if the American leaders continued to ask for independence through peaceful ways: the King would practically become flattered, instead of convinced, and double down on repression.
For this reason, Thomas Paine is, in a elegant way, advocating for the use of force in order to obtain the goal: independence.
The correct answer is option A. "Harsh laws are needed to keep order in society". Legalism is associated with strict adherence to law or prescription, whith results oftenly in abstract logical reasoning of the law rather than social, economic or political analysis. The phrase of harsh laws are needed to keep order in society, is the result of an abstract logical reasoning with strict adherence to law.
