This statement explains how the first King or chosen King might better society; however, there is no guarantee that his oldest son or brother has any integrity. The King succession rule distances the colonies each time it is implemented because the colonies are that much more forgotten. The King, as well as England, begins to forget English men even inhabit the colonies. The colonists are consistently being stuck with wrongful governing and no election power. "In America the law is king-, but under England the colonies must respect the "King as law- (29).
In Paine's view, the ideal government is one that gives equal representation and weight to each colony. He believed monarchy to be absolutely incompatible with individual liberty. I believe Paine's ideal government would be a Republic because "the nearer any government approaches to a Republic, the less business there is for a king- (16). According to Encarta, a Republic is a "form of state based on the concept that sovereignty resides in the people, who delegate the power to rule in their behalf to elected representatives and officials."" Paine also states that "a government of our own is our natural right: and when a man seriously reflects on the precariousness of humans affairs, he will become convinced, that it is infinitely wiser and safe, to form a Constitution of our own in a cool deliberate manner, while we have it in our power, than to trust such an interesting even to time and change- (29). The natural governing solution for the people of the new world would be a representative government. .
Thomas Paine's Common Sense portrays the unjust treatment received by the colonies from the mother country, England. The government failed to protect their rights and violated their rights. It then becomes no longer necessary but intolerable; therefore, the people have the right to overthrow their government and replace it with one that will respect their rights.
