To properly examine Thomas Paine’s trepidations with monarchy, one must look at where his justifications come from. He states clearly that “Exalting one man so greatly above…

However, in oppressed dictatorships and tyranny rules , the people who once had faith in their homeland may become emotionally depressed and start cursing their fate of being born in that particular country.
