Thomas Paine (1737-1809) exposed his views on monarchy and hereditary succession on<em> his famous pamphlet Common Sense</em>.

Thomas Paine stated that all men were created equal by God's grace<em> so it made no sense that a man should have the right to rule by birth</em>. Thomas Paine exposed that no king should be trusted with so much power, and that a nation needed a prepared and educated government where only the law is king, therefor only the law should rule.

Answer:

Paine's essay considers monarchy and hereditary succession to be evil, unjust, and degrading to humankind: "the monarchy and succession have laid but the world in blood and ashes." In his essay, Paine implies that not all kings come from noble, honorable origins. He stipulates that the tradition of king was started by heathens (pagans) and was foolishly followed by Christians even though certain sections of the Bible criticize the monarchy.

What is the best government ​
butalik [34]

I think most agree that democracy is the best kind of government. As Churchill famously said, "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." Essentially that democracy has many flaws and problems but all the others have more problems.

I'm thinking it is syphilis. Syphilis is an STD, so it probably happened whenever the Europeans Enslaved the natives and did their way with them.
