Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text criticizes the monarchy (referring to the King) as causing harm (like the Royal Brute of Britain) and argues that in America, the law should be supreme (THE LAW IS KING) rather than a king. It also mentions the negative impacts (injuries, disadvantages) of the connection with England and implies a call for independence as the current relationship (submission to England) is not beneficial.

Answer:

Thomas Paine criticizes monarchy (especially Britain's rule) and advocates that in America, law should be supreme (not a king), highlighting the harms of the British connection and implying a need for independence.
