Homework
Read the excerpt from Thomas Paine's common sense.
In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet titled Common Sense. This pamphlet was among the first to promote independence from Great Britain. In it he challenges the authority of the British monarch.

The nearer any government approaches to a Republic, the less business there is for a King. It is somewhat difficult to find a proper name for the government of England. Sir William Meredith calls it a Republic; but in its present state it is unworthy of the name, because the corrupt influence of the Crown, by having all the places in its disposal, hath so effectually swallowed up the power, and eaten out the virtue of the House of Commons (the Republican part in the constitution) that the government of England is nearly as monarchical as that of France or Spain. Men fall out with names without understanding them. For 'tis the Republican and not the Monarchical part of the Constitution of England which Englishmen glory in, viz. the liberty of choosing an House of Commons from out of their own body — and it is easy to see that when Republican virtues fail, slavery ensues. Why is the constitution of England sickly, but because monarchy hath poisoned the Republic; the Crown hath engrossed the Commons.”
-Thomas Paine

Read the excerpt from Thomas Paine's Common Sense. Make an analysis chart, like the one on page 660, in which they summarize the underlying assumptions and biases of Thomas Paine.
