Detailed explanation-1: -According to Thomas Paine, who or what was the greatest enemy of American liberty? The King. What radical idea was expressed in common sense? Creating an American republic would inspire common people everywhere to reject kings.
Detailed explanation-2: -He was the third Hanoverian monarch and the first one to be born in England and to use English as his first language. George III is widely remembered for two things: losing the American colonies and going mad.
Detailed explanation-3: -While the reigns of George I and II had been marked by a royal detachment from the administration of American colonies, King George III asserted his claim on the colonies strenuously. The king saw the relationship of Britain and America as that of a parent to a child.
Detailed explanation-4: -“America is lost! Must we fall beneath the blow?” he wrote in a neat, sloping hand. “Or have we resources that may repair the mischiefs?” These were the words of George III-father, farmer, king-as he weighed Britain’s future.
