Paine's idea that a "tiny island across the sea" shouldn't rule the continent of america is similar to what theory we studiesd earlier this year? A. Aristotle system of reasoning ( the theory of syllogism) B. The Benjamin Franklin effect C. Plato's symposium D. The elephant and rider theory

D. The elephant and rider theory.

Explanation:

Paine's idea that a "tiny island across the sea" shouldn't rule the continent of america is similar to "the elephant and rider" theory. In this theory, the rider of the elephant actually sees himself in charge of everything and even in charge of the elephant, but when there is a sort of disagreement between the elephant and the rider, the elephant will emerge winner. This is similar to "the tiny island across the sea" that feels it can control and rule over America. But when there is war between them, America wins.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
