What is the topic of this passage?
Oye that love mankindi Ye that dare oppone,
not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand
forth Every spot of the old world is overrun
with oppression, Freedom hath been bunted
round the globe, Asia, and Africa, have long
expelled her Europe regards her like a
stranger, and England hath siven her
warning to depart Ol receive the higitive, and
prepare in time an asylum for mankind

The second one. “The people’s right to revolt against Britain”

Explanation:

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war

i am almost certain that man symbolizes communism in this passage.

hope this
