Thomas paine was a political writer who fervently supported the american revolution. in this excerpt from his popular work common sense, paine uses an analogy to refute a common loyalist claim.

the first king of england, of the present line (william the conqueror) was a frenchman, and half the peers of england are descendants from the same country; wherefore, by the same method of reasoning, england ought to be governed by france.

which claim has paine refuted?

the american colonies should join britain in any future war against france because the colonists are of english descent.

britain should govern the american colonies because the colonists are of english descent.

france should govern the american colonies instead of britain because the british king is a descendant of a frenchman.

the american colonies should not trade with france because of the ongoing war between france and britain.

Read the excerpt from a supporting opinion of the supreme court’s ruling in plessy v. ferguson, 1896. laws permitting, and even requiring, their separation in places where they are liable to be brought into contact do not necessarily imply the inferiority of either race to the other, and have been generally, if not universally, recognized as within the competency of the state legislatures in the exercise of their police power. how does this relate to the premises of brown v. board of education? the brown case addresses whether state legislatures are equipped to judge the quality of education offered at segregated schools. the brown case addresses whether authorities believe that one race is inferior to another when creating public schools. the brown case addresses whether these laws inherently deny certain citizens equal protection under the law. the brown case addresses the legality of using police power to monitor public places separated by race.
