LC] Read this excerpt from “Schenck v. U.S., 249 U.S. 47 (1919)" and answer the question that follows: The document in question

upon its first printed side recited the first section of the Thirteenth Amendment, said that the idea embodied in it was violated by the conscription act and that a conscript is little better than a convict. In impassioned language it intimated that conscription was despotism in its worst form and a monstrous wrong against humanity in the interest of Wall Street's chosen few. It said, 'Do not submit to intimidation,' but in form at least confined itself to peaceful measures such as a petition for the repeal of the act. The other and later printed side of the sheet was headed 'Assert Your Rights.' It stated reasons for alleging that any one violated the Constitution when he refused to recognize 'your right to assert your opposition to the draft,' and went on, 'If you do not assert and support your rights, you are helping to deny or disparage rights which it is the solemn duty of all citizens and residents of the United States to retain.' It described the arguments on the other side as coming from cunning politicians and a mercenary capitalist press, and even silent consent to the conscription law as helping to support an infamous conspiracy. Which phrase does the protest document use to describe conscription? The solemn duty of all citizens A monstrous wrong against humanity A peaceful measure Asserting and supporting rights

inessss [21]

Pamphlets like Common Sense and The Crisis #1 were published with the intention of influencing public opinion in favor of the very divisive cause of American independence from the British Crown. thus option B is correct.

<h3>What is the Thomas Paine crisis' major argument?</h3>

The colonists are urged by Paine to place a high value on victory and the freedom that follows because "the harder the battle, the more wonderful the triumph"—"what we gain too cheap, we esteem too cheaply," he observes, and "it is dearness only that gives everything its value." No. 1 crisis

It is crucial to keep in mind that many residents of the American colonies believed themselves to be primarily British.

Declaring the necessity for independence was viewed by many in the Colonies as treason. These pamphlets contributed to the debate and persuaded people of something that had previously been unheard of. A PR effort was required to increase American support for the revolution.
