Read the passage.
In his pamphlet Common Sense, published in January, 1776, Thomas Paine used the everyday language of the colonists to express his feelings about Great Britain.

excerpt from Common Sense by Thomas Paine
"I have heard it asserted by some, that as America hath flourished under her former connection with Great Britain, that the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness, and will always have the same effect. Nothing can be more fallacious than this kind of argument. We may as well assert, that because a child has thrived upon milk, that it is never to have meat; or that the first twenty years of our lives is to become a precedent for the next twenty. But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power had any thing to do with her. The commerce by which she hath enriched herself are the necessaries of life, and will always have a market while eating is the custom of Europe.…"

Drag the central argument Paine presents and its two claims to complete the chart.
