Answer 2

Thomas Paine promoted American independence from Great Britain when he wrote “Common Sense” pamphlet in 1776. The correct options to his ideas are “monarchies were dangerous” and “it was America’s destiny to be an independent nation.  According to Paine, monarchies were tyrannical as they believed they were superior to common people but did not help or contribute to the nation’s prosperity. Paine did not agree on monarchies and their hereditary succession since they rule a nation for large periods. Paine also made special emphasis on America’s ideas of independence, focusing on how the state should be created, its representatives, its laws and the president’s election. Common Sense pamphlet had a great impact at that time in America for its revolutionary ideas against Britain ruling.
