Third estate
According to Thomas Paine what are the major disadvantages that affect the American colonies through their connection with Great Britain?One major disadvantage is that direct involvement with Great Britain tends to directly involve America in European wars and quarrels and set them at variance with nations who would otherwise seek their friendship. Another disadvantage is the impact Great Britain has on the American Colonies is their negative control on the market. According to Pain our corn will fetch its price in any market in Europe, and our imported goods must be paid for buy them where we will. The American market will expand without control by Great Britain. Paine believes that not but independence from Great Britain can keep the American colonies from civil war. As long as the American colonies have connection to Great Britain the King will have a negative legislation over the colonies.
According to Thomas Paine what are the major motivations behind England's desire to maintain its colonies in North America?One major motivation behind Englands desire to maintain its colonies in North America is to keep control over the market for the sake of trade and dominion. Paine considers that Great Britains motives were interest and not attachment. Great Britain would benefit if they have the American colonies to strengthen their military power. The American colonies would support the British army in either Asia, Africa, and Europe.

One reason Paine offers as to why America should immediately declare its independence in 1776 is it is unreasonable to suppose, that France or Spain will give any kind of assistance for repairing the breach or strengthening the connection between Britain and America; because, those powers would be sufferers by the consequences.
