From Thomas Paine's "Common Sense", January 1776>>>>>> "Nothing but independence...can keep the peace of the continent...A government of our own is our natural right; and when a man seriously reflects on the precariousness [uncertainty] of human affairs, he will become convinced, that it is infinitely wiser and safer, to form a constitution of our own in a cool, deliberate manner, while we have it in our power...".What is the main idea of this statement?

A-The colonists should stay loyal to the British crown

B-The colonists obviously have the right to independence and self-government

C-The colonists would be safer if they kept peace with Britain

D-The colonists have the power to defeat Britain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Quotes that explain my answer...

“A government is our own natural right”

“Wiser and safer, to form a constitution of our own”

Not only these quotes, but also Thomas Paine himself proves my answer! He was all for revolution!

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ The \ colonists \ have \ the \ right \ to \ independence \ and \ self-government}}[/tex]

Explanation:

For some background information, "Common Sense" was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine to galvanize the colonists to support the idea of independence.

Now, let's analyze the passage. Some important and recurring ideas are independence and autonomy.

Here are some quotes that reinforce this idea:

"A government of our own is our natural right" "Nothing but independence...can keep the peace" "it is...wiser and safer, to form a constitution of our own"

So, this statement clearly doesn't call for being loyal, allied, or in a conflict with Britain. It reinforces the idea that the colonists deserve their own government, so B is the best answer choice.

What was worse Cold war or Conventional war (armed conflict) ?​

Answers

Answer:

The Cold War was a time of international pressure between the Soviet Association and the US and their separate partners, the Eastern Coalition and the Western Alliance, after World War II. Antiquarians don't completely concur on the dates, yet the period is commonly considered to traverse the 1947 Truman Principle to the 1991 disintegration of the Soviet Association. The expression "cold" is utilized on the grounds that there was no huge scope battling straightforwardly between the two superpowers, however they each upheld major local clashes known as intermediary wars.

Explanation:

The conflict was based around the philosophical and international battle for worldwide impact by the two forces, following their transitory collusion and triumph against Nazi Germany in 1945.

Beside the nuclear arsenal development and regular military sending, the battle for predominance was communicated through circuitous methods, for example, mental fighting, promulgation crusades, surveillance, expansive bans, contention at games and mechanical rivalries, for example, the Space Race.

Answers

The correct answer is B) He disagreed with the selling of indulgences.

The statement that best explains why Martin Luther was dissatisfied with the Catholic Church was "He disagreed with the selling of indulgences."

That was the main reason for the differences he had with the Catholic church hierarchy.

Martin Luther was a German priest who wrote the renowned document titled "95 Theses," in which he critiqued and expressed his arguments against many practices of the Catholic church. His position derivated in the split of the church, given birth to Protestantism.

Answer:

Responses may vary but should contain some or all of the following information:  Thirty-one prisoner of war camps were established in Oklahoma. The state was an excellent choice for housing prisoners, as the climate was mild, there were few cities, and POWs could be kept busy working on farms and ranches. Oklahoma Ordnance Works, located between Chouteau and Pryor, was one of several plants that produced powders for explosives and bombs, such as TNT. 10,000 employees worked at the facility. The Tulsa Bomber Plant built several types of bombers, was run by the Douglas Aircraft Company, and employed 23,000 people during the war’s peak. The US Naval Ammunition Depot at McAlester opened in 1943. Citizens petitioned the government to build an ammunitions plant there, and the contracts were awarded because it was located inland and at intersections of highways and railroads. On April 8, 1941, Oklahoma City got a contract for a supply and maintenance depot and opened Tinker Field in 1942. It was the largest air material depot in world, and it specialized in repairing bombers. The base was named after Clarence L. Tinker, the first American Indian in US Army to reach the rank of major general. Thirty thousand people worked at Tinker, half of which were women.

All of the points in the graph are on the same line. Find values for a and B

Answers

Answer:

a-5

b-6

Explanation:

I think, good luck

The required values are a = 5 and b = 6  in the given graph.

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of the line is represented as the gradient of the line.

The given points are following as:

(2, 2), (4, b), (a, 8), and (6, 10)

The line passes through points (2, 2) and (6, 10)

Let

x₁ = 2, y₁ = 2

x₂ = 6, y₂ = 10

y - y₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁)(x -x₁ )

Substitute values in the formula

y - 2 = [(10 - 2)/(6 - 2)](x - 2)

y - 2 = (8/4)(x - 2)

y = 2x -2

The line also passes through points (4, b), (a, 8)

For finding the value of b,

b = 2(4) -2 = 8 - 2 = 6

For finding the value of a,

8 = 2(a) -2

2a = 8 +2

a = 10/2 = 5

Therefore, the required values are a = 5 and b = 6  in the given graph.
