How does Paine reject the argument that the colonies have "flourished" as members of the British empire? What was Britain's true motive in defending the colonies, and what does this motive reveal about the relationship between the two?
Paine says that while some have argued that because colonies
like America has flourished under British rule, it is necessary for
America to remain tightly bound to Britain. Paine likens this
argument to saying that because a baby has flourished on milk, it
should never eat meat. Furthermore, he argues that the situation in
the colonies would have been even better had various European
countries not exerted their power over America.
Britain's True
Motive-It is argued that Britain has protected the
colonies, but Paine points out that Britain protected the colonies
for its own financial gain, not out of altruism. Additionally if
the colonies had not been dependent on Britain, then they would no
longer be enemies with countries that are enemies of Britain.
Therefore, Paine argues, the very condition of being Britain's
colony is what brought about the need for protection in the first
place.
This motive reveals that British Empire used colonies just as a
source of raw materials and labour.Over the previous 150 years the
colonies had attracted an ever-increasing number of immigrants and
grown steadily in themselves so that they now contained significant
urban centres such as Philadelphia and Boston,an abundance of land
rapidly being more fully used by the growing population it
attracted, and a growing number of manufacturing industries. These
were significant because the traditional model of colonies had been
to serve as exporters of raw materials and staple goods to Britain
and purchasers of manufactured goods, all along the protected
trading lines of the Navigation Act. But the mainland American
colonies were increasingly less dependent, more able to stand on
their own

Question 1 All the following were long-term origins of the American Revolution except: British kings were constantly imposing new and harsh tax and trade regulations The 'ideology of republicanism' along with Enlightenment and Great Awakening ideas, Britain, constantly at war, lacked coherent imperial policies and largely ignored the colonies. Colonists, used to governing themselves, felt they had the same rights as subjects in Britain. Question 2 All were immediate (short-term) causes of the American Revolution except: The Boston Massacre" and...
1. As a researcher you mistakenly reject Ho when you should have failed to reject it. You have committed a error. a.Type I Type II c. Type III 2. The Seven Countries Study (an epidemiologic study) found a correlation of r-84 between deaths from CHD and % of calories consumed from saturated fat. This means that: a. There is an indirect relationship between saturated fat consumption and death from CHD. b.Saturated fat causes CHD c. Further study between saturated fat...

Rotate the central bond to see b. possible conformations before answering/ Yes No Make the mirror image model of this molecule. Are the mirror images identical? Yes No C. dl What is the term for the relationship between these structures? Are these structures chiral €or achiral? Switch two of the groups on one of the carbons of one model, resulting in...
Results 3. (5 points) Our transformation procedure used 10 u of 0.08 ug/ul PGLO. How does the concentration of DNA affect the number of colonies and the transformation efficiency? Do you think if we used more concentrated PGLO that we could have gotten a higher transformation efficiency? The numbers of colonies shown below resulted from transformation with 10ul of PGLO at the concentrations shown. a. Calculate the transformation efficiency at each concentration. Express your answers in scientific notation. Write the...

PHILOSOPHY: 1. What is the mind-body problem? a.) Why does my body not do what my mind tells it to? b.) How does the mind relate to the body? c.) How can there be thoughts and no souls? d.) How can it be 'mind over matter' in certain contexts? The mind-body problem is a very, very, old puzzle in philosophy. It is trying to explain how our 'what-it's-likenesses' relate to our bodily states. It's trying to explain how our thoughts,...
