"Every quiet method for peace hath been ineffectual. Our prayers have been rejected with disdain; and only tended to convince us

, that nothing flatters vanity, or confirms obstinacy in Kings more than repeated petitioning—and nothing hath contributed more than that very measure to make the Kings of Europe absolute." – Thomas Paine, Common Sense How did this excerpt motivate colonists to support the creation of the Declaration of Independence?

Answer:

In the excerpt, Thomas Paine is pointing out at the fact that peaceful means have been ineffective, or are likely to be ineffective, in convincing the British King, to grant the American colonies independence.

He is using a metaphor to illustrate what would happen if the American leaders continued to ask for independence through peaceful ways: the King would practically become flattered, instead of convinced, and double down on repression.

For this reason, Thomas Paine is, in a elegant way, advocating for the use of force in order to obtain the goal: independence.

In at least one hundred and fifty words, compare and contrast the philosophies of constitutionalism and the divine right of king
Sever21 [200]
Constitutionalism refers to a political structure of a state based on the constitution, as the name itself says. A constitution is the most important legal document in a country, listing the rules and laws that everyone, be it regular people, institutions, or the president himself has to follow. Constitutionalism was created to make people equal, to protect their natural rights and guarantee them liberty in the country they live in.

On the other hand we have the divine right of kings. It is a concept which is quite opposite to that of constitutionalism. As the name itself says, the divine right of kings assumes that king was sent to earth to rule instead of God himself. Given that God doesn't have a physical presence in our world, he has chosen kings to be his representatives on Earth. Thus, the king has every right to do whatever he pleases, without having to think about constitutions, governments, or the feelings of his subjects.

I believe that America is based on the principles of constitutionalism, mostly because it never had a king, but was rather a democratic republic from the very beginning.
