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 reason did Yurovsky give Nicholas II for his pending execution?
vodka [1.7K]

Yurovsky, the executioner of the Russian Imperial Family, left a detailed account of the events that transcurred on the night of July 16th, 1918, when the Romanov family was assassinated. In it, he describes the scene with the tsar Nicholas II in the following way:

"...so far as I can remember, I said to Nicholas approximately this: His royal and close relatives inside the country and abroad were trying to save him, but the Soviet of Workers' Deputies resolved to shoot them. He asked "What?" and turned toward Alexei. At that moment I shot him and killed him outright. He did not get time to face us to get an answer."

Federalists and Anti-Federalists most disagreed on the answer to which
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

B. Should the Constitution include a list of rights guaranteed to citizens?

Explanation:

Essentially, the basis of the two sides were this: the federalists believed in a strong federal government, and thought the U.S. Constitution would be effective with the listed checks and balances. They were afraid of disorder, and believed a strong federal gov't was necessary to combat this. The anti-federalists believed an additional bill detailing the people's rights should be added because they distrusted the supposed checks and balances. They feared a strong central gov't would lead to an oppression similar to the British monarchy at the time.
