Question 3 • IL-US History A

Which of the following arguments did Thomas Paine include in Common Sense?

Answer
A
Colonists should not have to pay taxes to the British.
B
All types of government are unreasonable.
C
A monarchy is a dangerous form of government.
D
The British should overthrow their king.

Explanation

In Common Sense, Thomas Paine argued that monarchy was an unjust and dangerous system, and that the American colonies should seek independence rather than remain under a king. He did not argue that all government was unreasonable; he supported creating a government based on the people’s authority. Therefore, the correct choice is “A monarchy is a dangerous form of government.”
