Respuesta :

the king did not treat the colonists fairly or equally

Answer:

Does not treat the colonies fairly or equally. Treats them more like a child without the same rights as an adult.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine was a British thinker who participated throughout his life in the intense transformations that marked the passage from the modern to the contemporary world. After trying life in different trades in England and venturing into an unsuccessful marriage, Paine decided to leave for the United States to pursue new opportunities. Arriving in the thriving and bustling Thirteen Colonies, he began advocating for US independence.

Paine realized that the British crown was abusive to the colonies and violated the natural rights of citizens, as it did not treat the colonies fairly or equally, treating citizens more like a child without the same rights as an adult.
