Thomas Paine questioned British authority to rule the colonies in Common Sense because d) he believed the size of the colonies made them impossible for Britain to rule. However, to some extent all the other options definitely tie in to why Thomas Paine wrote the pamphlet, "Common Sense." He stated that the British monarchy and government only wanted to benefit Britain and had no time for understanding the American people and what would be best for them.
