Answer:    An open and transparent policy modeled on Western ideas and a gradual increase in the feeling of freedom caused the change of communist regimes in Eastern Europe, and finally in the USSR

Explanation:  Glasnost is one of the measures implemented by the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in order to launch and modernize the economy. This measure concerned openness, which literally means in translation, and the transparency of political decisions and actions related to economic reforms. The aim was to achieve a greater presence of Western ideas and ways of thinking and working in the USSR, which was accompanied by an increased feeling of freedom among citizens. However, the citizens of the Eastern Bloc countries are also sensitive, so in 1989, in the elections, the opposition non-communist forces won, when it was believed that the USSR army would interfere. Gorbachev, however, did not intervene, and so began the wave of regime change in all East European countries, when all communist regimes were replaced by those who were not communists. The culmination was the demolition of the Berlin Wall as a symbol of the Cold War, and the unification of the two Germans. What followed only confirmed that the end of the USSR and the final official end of the Cold War was nearing, even though it informally ceased to exist with the change of the regimes in Eastern Europe and the demolition of the Berlin Wall.

Which of the following arguments did Thomas Paine include in Common Sense?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

A monarchy is a dangerous form of government.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" is a political pamphlet that argues for the American colonies' right to be independent of the British crown. The book would become the crux of the American revolt against the British authority.

In his book, Paine presents an argument supporting the thirteen colonies and their right to be free of British authority. He discussed how the monarchy, in general, and all monarchy in particular, is a dangerous form of authority or governance that one can be put under. He declares that <em>"a thirst for absolute power is the natural disease of monarchy."</em> Furthermore, he added, <em>"monarchy and succession have laid (not this or that kingdom only) but the world in blood and ashes. ’Tis a form of government which the word of God bears testimony against, and blood will attend it."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
