Common Sense
Common Sense
was an instant best-seller. Published in January 1776 in Philadelphia,
nearly 120,000 copies were in circulation by April. Paine's brilliant
arguments were straightforward. He argued for two main points: (1)
independence from England and (2) the creation of a democratic republic.
Paine avoided flowery prose. He wrote in the language of the people,
often quoting the Bible in his arguments. Most people in America had a
working knowledge of the Bible, so his arguments rang true. Paine was
not religious, but he knew his readers were. King George was "the
Pharaoh of England" and "the Royal Brute of Great Britain." He touched a
nerve in the American countryside.
What exactly are you asking?
Answer:
B.
Roosevelt successfully added more Supreme Court justices to the bench that supported his policies.
Explanation:
During the time of Franklin Roosevelt as the President of the United States, when Supreme Court struck down several key pieces of his New Deal legislation, after two years, he first proposed age limit for Justices, such that whenever a Justice clock 70 years, and 6 months old, and who had served 10 years or more should be retired.
However, should a Justice refuse to retire, Roosevelt added More Supreme Court Justices to the bench, with equal voting right. This was later termed as "Court parking".
Hence, the right answer is, Roosevelt successfully added more Supreme Court justices to the bench that supported his policies.
