In Common Sense, Paine argues that Americans have plenty of raw materials and other resources and could quickly build an American navy to challenge the Royal Navy. Do you think this argument is credible? Explain your answer.

Although we might have had the resources, this is not likely as we were still in tons of debt after the revolutionary war, we weren’t as industrialized as the British, and an example of how bad our military power used to be was when our first capitol burned to he ground during the war of 1812. Realistically no.

One key element is humour! the man probably represents a politician or worker!
