Thomas Paine develops his argument by presenting counter arguments and showing why they are wrong

Thomas Paine develops his argument by using powerful metaphors to portray the relationship between England and the colonies

1. “I have heard it asserted by some, that as America hath flourished under her former connection with Great Britain, the the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness, and will always have the same effect. Nothing can be more fallacious than this kind of argument. We may as well assert, that because a child has thrived upon milk, that it is never to have meat; or that the first twenty years of our lives is to become a precedent for the next twenty” (36).

2. “This new world bath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe. Hither have they fled, not from the tender embraces of the mother but from the cruelty of the monster” (36)

3. “As to government matters, it is not the powers of Britain to do this continent justice: the business of it will soon to be too weighty, and intricate, to be managed with any tolerable degree of convenience, by a power so distant from us, and so very ignorant of us; for if they cannot conquer us, they cannot govern us. To be always running three or four thousand miles with a tale or a petition, waiting four or five months for an answer which when obtained requires five or six more to explain it in, will in a few years be looked upon as folly and childishness—there was a time when it was proper and there is a proper time for it to cease” (37)
