“a prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
which most accurately assesses the rationale the excerpt offers to support the argument for american independence?
a. the rationale is economic in nature; it argues that any leader who writes laws that govern colonists is corrupt and incapable of fairly representing the needs of those colonists.
b. the rationale is social in nature; it argues that a leader of a distant land lacks the day-to-day knowledge necessary to make effective decisions about the needs of colonists.
c. the rationale is religious in nature; it argues that a leader who attempts to impose his religion upon colonial subjects is an oppressor of democracy
d. the rationale is political in nature; it argues that a leader motivated by personal interests does not possess the characteristics necessary to properly represent the natural rights of others.
