Read the excerpt from Common Sense.
"There are injuries which nature cannot forgive; she would cease to be nature if she did."
Paine uses this language to show that
O the king deserves punishment for his behavior toward the colonies.
O the king's oppressive actions against the colonies are inexcusable.
O the colonists will mend their relationship volh the king if he promises them independence.
O the colonies will eventually heal from the wounds inflicted by the king.
