What argument does the author counter in this excerpt from thomas paine's common sense?

i have heard it asserted by some, that as america has flourished under her former connection with great britain, 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.

Read the excerpt from martin luther king jr.’s "i have a dream” speech. and so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of new hampshire. let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of new york. let freedom ring from the heightening alleghenies of pennsylvania. let freedom ring from the snow-capped rockies of colorado. let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of california. but not only that: let freedom ring from stone mountain of georgia. let freedom ring from lookout mountain of tennessee. let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of mississippi. from every mountainside, let freedom ring. the most likely reason king uses allusions in this part of his speech is to share his knowledge of american geography. compare northern and southern destinations. remind listeners about small-town accountability. encourage listeners to envision freedom everywhere.
