“and as this frequent interchange will establish a common interest with every part of the community, they will mutually and naturally support each other, and on this…depends the strength of the government, and the happiness of the governed. here then is the origin and rise of government; namely a mode rendered necessary by the inability of moral virtue to govern the world; here too is…freedom and security.” -thomas paine, excerpt from common sense, 1776

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
- Analyze Option A: The first passage talks about the strength of government being a result, not a prerequisite for forming it. So A is incorrect.
- Analyze Option B: Neither passage mentions the emotions of the governed as necessary for forming a new government. So B is incorrect.
- Analyze Option C: The first passage focuses on community support, and the second mentions "Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God" and "decent respect to the opinions of mankind". This implies support from God (via natural laws) and mankind (opinions) is necessary.
- Analyze Option D: The second passage mentions dissolving political bands as part of the process when separating, but it's not presented as a general necessity for forming a new government (the first passage has no such mention). So D is incorrect.

# Answer:
C. the support of God and mankind
