the excerpt directly reflects a continuation of which of the
- 00:20
following enlightenment beliefs and here potential answers I believe that
- 00:26
basically pains telling us here that the english constitution sucks
- 00:30
because it comes from a time when everybody thought tyranny
- 00:33
was the cat's pajamas So bad news for a tyrant
- 00:36
and for the cat since pain is so obviously anti
- 00:39
tyrant will start by taking c out of the running
- 00:42
Absolute sovereignty means that a ruler can make anybody do
- 00:46
anything here she wants Like if the king or queen
- 00:48
wanted everybody to bathe and fish they'd have to do
- 00:51
it for else But we probably do that just for
- 00:53
the halibut Anyway As the excerpt shows pain thought this
- 00:57

- 00:59
eliminate option a The belief in constitutionalism Yeah not quite

what we're looking for Pain uses this excerpt toe bad

- 01:20
says that pains using the excerpt toe pump up state's
- 01:23
rights well while it's probably true that pain would have
- 01:25
been a fan of the idea there is nothing in
- 01:27
the excerpt about It Looks like pain won't be pumping
- 01:31
anything up anytime soon so we can say farewell Didi
- 01:35
answer be on the other hand is here to stay

- 01:41
for sometime throughout the colonies when thomas paine anonymously published
- 01:44

- 01:47
extract is so critical of tyranny reflects that idea that
- 01:51
all individuals are born with certain rights that no tyrant
- 01:55
should be ableto take We once tried to convince the
- 01:57
city that we were born with the right to park
- 01:59
anywhere but no that didn't go over very well We're 00:02:03.48 --> [endTime] still trying
