which of the following and hear the potential answer our
- 00:22
calls Okay well this one's really not too tough As
- 00:26
long as we keep in mind that the main point
- 00:28
of common sense was that the colonies had the right
- 00:30
to rule themselves Got that tattooed on your brain Good
- 00:33
And just to be clear shmoop does not recommend you
- 00:36
tattoo your brain unless you tattoo the words common sense
- 00:38
on your brain Well then that's Just kind of funny
- 00:40
in an oxymoron Ish kinda way Emphasis on the moron
- 00:44
All right so first let's take a look at option
- 00:46
a The articles of confederation were a post revolution thing
- 00:49
that established america as a confederation of sovereign states Not
- 00:53
only were the articles have bad idea that didn't work
- 00:55
out but they also don't work out is our answer
- 00:58
Like we said common senses about how the colony is
- 01:00
On a separate from england it's not about the way
- 01:02
america out of govern itself You can't be worried about
- 01:05
how the u s should be organized until the u
- 01:07
s actually exists Well you can but worrying about the
- 01:11
governance of imaginary countries this kind of unnecessary like worrying
- 01:14
about alien invasions there's no chance that a lever you
- 01:19
are moving on we can eliminate d for the same
- 01:22
kind of reason the u s was already established By
- 01:24
the time his first president gave his farewell address there
- 01:27
wouldn't have been much point in george washington calling for
- 01:29
independence from england when america was like already independent from
- 01:33
england We also happen to know that washington's farewell address
- 01:36
was about the dangers of political parties Ah isn't it
- 01:39
nice to know the us took the advice of one
- 01:41
of its most important founding fathers Heart c is the
- 01:44
best option we've had so far The bill of rights
- 01:46
did touch on what seemed like basic human rights today
- 01:49
but again bill of rights came after the american independence
- 01:52
and didn't need to encourage colonist to say yes sayin
- 01:55
are to the brits looks like option b is the
- 01:57
only one left like it's more famous cousin The declaration
- 02:00
of independence Common sense argued that the colonies should fight
- 02:04
for their right to govern themselves and that they did
- 02:08
Luckily everything is now totally cool between the americans and
- 02:11
the brits Just don't ask him which version of the
- 02:14
office is better That's a debate that will never end
