Question
which point of view is reflected in common sense?
representatives should be elected.
representatives should be appointed.
the monarchy supports self - government.
the monarchy creates limited government.
Thomas Paine's Common Sense advocated for American independence from Britain. It promoted the idea of a democratic system where representatives are elected by the people, rather than appointed (as in a monarchy - which Paine criticized). Monarchy was seen as contrary to self - government (so C is wrong) and created an unlimited, autocratic form of rule (so D is wrong). Common Sense laid the groundwork for a more democratic, representative form of government, supporting elected representatives.
