"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.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Income tax is a method for gaining funds with which to support governmental endeavors. Adults can vote to support delegates and legislation that decide how much tax is collected and how the money is used. Minors, however, denied the privilege of voting, are given no way to communicate what they deem a worthy application of their tax money. Without the right to vote, the taxes minors are forced to pay are unjust.

“No taxation without representation” was the famous slogan of the American colonies. By taxing settlers without giving them seats in parliament#, the British could effectively subject the colonies to whatever horrendous taxes they wished without legitimate protest of the colonists. The minors of America face the same oppression today. Without representation, the taxes they pay are just as ridiculous as those of 300 years ago. And while the threat of revolution and bayonet-wielding villagers doesn’t loom today as it did long ago, the underlying principles and governmental injustices remain the same.

The majority of minors work in minimum wage, less-than-ideal environments while juggling the pressures of school and college preparation. Flipping hamburgers while a government you have no choice but to oblige keeps its hand in your pocket is far from the accepted definition of fair. Employed minors work just as hard as the rest of society, in conditions often less desirable, yet are not given the same rights due to their age.

Supporters of income tax for minors cite the illegitimate need for many minors to enter the workforce in the first place. Such blanket ideas defeat the freedoms upon which America is based, and ultimately such ideologies as an open economy. It is not the place of government to decide the validity of individual needs and desires.

The dilemma is a blatant one: Minors are doing the same work as adults, but unlike adults, the money that is dutifully deducted from their paychecks is being used in ways that they never approved of. Solutions are few but basic. Either minors should not be allowed to work (however contradictory that is to the Constitution), or employed minors should be given the opportunity to vote and give rise to the voice that has been so far ignored.

Describe the backgrounds and philosophies of Patriots and Loyalists. Why did colonists with such diverse individual interests un
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In colonial American times, previous years of the beginning of the Revolutionary War of Independence, Americans were basically divided into two groups: Patriots and Loyalists. Colonists with such diverse individual interests united in support of their respective causes because problems were so many and the division started to polarize even more.

Patriots supported the idea of Independence from England, meanwhile, Loyalists thought that the colonies wouldn't be the same without the support of the English crown.

Patriots wanted to achieve liberty and independence by winning the war. Loyalists tried to maintain things as they were because they always supported the King of England.
