Read the excerpt from Thomas Paine’s work “The Crisis” No. 1.
Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. . . .
. . . Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.
What is the denotation of the word “bound” in this excerpt?
trapped
connected
depended
aided
Although there's no excerpt attached, we can assume the answer would be trapped because to be bound to something means to have a limitation or restriction on feeling or action.
