image.png The lyrics on this shirt support Paine's claim that ----


reconciliation with England is possible


peace with England is only possible if American colonies surrender


peace with England is only possible if American colonies apologize


reconciliation with England is not possible

Answer 1

1) Hereditary monarchy — Paine is attacking the idea that birthright gives a family perpetual precedence over all others.

11) The passage is attempting to convince readers that the American cause is a universal struggle for natural rights that concerns all mankind and deserves their support.

12) Emotions — Paine uses vivid, stirring language to appeal to readers' feelings (e.g., “laying a Country desolate with Fire and Sword,” “the Power of Feeling”).

13) A monarchy promotes idolatry and is against God’s will — by saying kingship came from heathens and was copied by Israel, Paine implies monarchy is not divinely ordained and is associated with pagan practice.

14) Reconciliation with England is not possible — the shirt’s lyrics reflect Paine’s argument that peaceful reconciliation is unrealistic given England’s actions toward the colonies.
