my first thought is about the present abilities thomas paine speaks of in his writings. one of his calls for independence is that while the colonies are in their youth, this is the perfect time since strong indiviual colonies have not yet developed to diminish the possibility of a union later. my question is, had great britian bowed to the demands of the colonies, would this have postponed the revolution long enough that it would have never happened? my own thought is that it would have eventually happened but under completely different circumstances. i think the union of some might of still have happened but that you would have had numerous small coutries much like europe. in reality his prediction was true seeing as around 80 years later we had the civil war which showed the fragility of the union.


while reading the declaration of independce one part in particular jumped out at me. a few lines spoke of how a people, when under a government that no longer serves them, should and have the right to throw off their current governing body and start a new one. my question is, if everyone becomes frustrated and fed up with our current government today, what would be the new one be?
