Paine explains the right to revolt in this line by claiming that the British government is acting tyrannically to the point of enslaving the American people. Paine claims in the opening paragraph that the British government is building tyranny over the American colonies. He supports this claim with examples from history of countries that have revolted against their rulers. He concludes that since the colonists are not free they have a right to rebel against the British government. In addition to explaining why the Americans should have the right to revolt, Paine also answers the question of what would happen after the revolution. He believes that after winning their freedom the Americans will want to keep some form of connection with Britain. This idea comes straight from the founders of America who wanted Britain to help them develop as a country. So Paine proposes that after winning their independence from Britain the Americans should enter into a new treaty with the kingdom where they would be allowed to trade freely while still being subject to British law. Finally, Paine addresses those who might worry about problems that could arise during or after a revolution. He says that any problems that do occur can be fixed by another revolution when more wisdom is gained. For example, if people become enslaved again then they can just revolt again until they are free. This shows that Paine believed that revolutions are always good even if you lose some lives in the process.
