The passage below is from Thomas Paine's 1776 pamphlet, Common Sense.
[I]t is not in the power of Britain to do this continent justice: The business of it will soon be too weighty, and intricate, to be managed with any tolerable degree of convenience, by a power, so distant from us, and so very ignorant of us . . . To be always running three or four thousand miles with a tale or a petition, waiting four or five months for an answer, which when obtained requires five or six more to explain it in, will in a few years be looked upon as folly and childishness.

a. the British do not know enough about the colonies to govern them.
b. The British have benefited enough from their investment in the colonies.
