Paine compares America’s continued state of being under British rule to babies feeding on milk.
Paine compares Americans to, “a man who is attached to a prostitute is unfitted to choose or judge of a wife, so any prepossession in favour of a rotten constitution of government will disable us from discerning a good one” (Paine 106). Again, an allusion to British rule.
