What do you think is Paine’s purpose in this excerpt from Common Sense? Cite evidence from the excerpt to support your claim.
Strike441 [17]
The main content of the passage is to present a possible situation in which a violent leader imposes the law on the country by force ("at the point of the sword"), which presumably leads to many deaths. This was what has happened, in Paine's interpretation under William the Conqueror in England. The intention is to show that this situation is undesired in America and to encourage Americans to fight against such a government.
