What argument does paine use to highlight the geographic inconvenience of being ruled by great britain

Thomas Paine stated his arguments against the rule of Great Britain through his pamphlet entitled Common Sense.

His arguments are the following:

1) It is absurd for an island (Great Britain) to rule over a continent (America)

2) London is too far from America to rule over it. They don't know the situation that is happening in America and so they are not equipped to rule over it due to lack of data and first hand experiences.

3) The King and the Parliament will ultimately decide in favor of Great Britain regardless if the decision made will inevitably affect America in a negative way.
