Detailed explanation-1: -In England a King hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which, in plain terms, is to empoverish the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain!
Detailed explanation-2: -For Paine, the two central freedoms of an independent America need to be the freedom to own property and the freedom to practice any religion a person wants to.
Detailed explanation-3: -Kings succeed each other, not as rationals, but as animals. It signifies not what their mental or moral characters are. Can we then be surprised at the abject state of the human mind in monarchical countries, when the government itself is formed on such an abject levelling system?-It has no fixed character.
