When thomas paine writes about reconciliation he is referring to (1 point)?

I believe the answer is: the colonies staying peacefully connected with great britain

The relation between the colonies and Great Britatin during that time was cracked due to the increase in tax regulation that created by Britain. Thomas Paine sense the danger of a fall out which could lead to an all out war, which is why he is open to the idea of reconciliation and find a middle ground to solve the conflict.

explanation:

actually, not all representation was acceptable based on this little piece of article, in 1776, the second continental congress issued the declaration of independence, stating their specific grievances with the british monarchy and why they were going to create a separate government. after the colonies separated from the british monarchy and formed the united states of america, they had to answer some crucial questions: 1) if not a monarchy, what type of government was the united states going to have? 2) what kind of government was going to protect the people without violating their individual liberties?
