Which point of view is reflected in Common Sense?

  1. Representatives should be elected

  2. Monarchies are the best form of government

  3. Taxes are necessary for government

  4. Colonies should remain under British rule

The correct answer is: Representatives should be elected

Common Sense reflects the point of view that representatives should be elected, as argued by Thomas Paine in the text. Option B is incorrect because Paine argues against monarchical rule and in favor of a democratic republic. Option C is incorrect because while Paine does discuss the necessity of taxes, this is not the central point of his argument. Option D is incorrect because Paine argues for independence from British rule, not remaining under it.
