Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
Paine refers to "her" throughout the quote. Who is her?
Thomas Pain is naming "her" and he was referring to the right of the people to fight for freedom, in this case, to start a rebellion against the English monarchy.
As a result of a conflict between British troops and a colonial militia in Massachusetts, Thomas Paine published Common Sense.
There were already too many conflicts between the American Colonies and the English crown. All that heavy taxation such as the Sugar Act or the Stamp Act had generated anger and unconformity between the colonies. And the worst part was that the colonies had no voice or representation in the British Parliament.
That is when English thinker Thomas Paine -while living in Massachusetts- published the pamphlet "Common Sense," on January 9, 1776. In this 47-page document, Paine wrote his arguments to support the American independence movement, trying to influence the opinion of the American colonists.
"Common Sense" helped the Patriots in that this document gave them excelent reasons to support the independence movement against the British Crown.
