Read the following excerpt from The American Crisis and answer the question. To see it in our power to make a world happy - to teach mankind the art of being so - to exhibit, on the theatre of the universe a character hitherto unknown - and to have, as it were, a new creation intrusted to our hands, are honors that command reflection, and can neither be too highly estimated, nor too gratefully received. What idea does Paine reference in these lines? The colonies are an example to be followed. The colonies are undeserving of discipline by the British. The colonies must seek protection from other nations. The colonies face an uncertain political future.

    Answer: The colonies face an uncertain political future.

    Explanation:

    Paine is trying to explain that Britain was privileged to have the colonies and they could neither overestimate or underestimate their powers. However, Paine is highlighting the fact that Britain shouldn't have the entitlement to teach others how to see the world or to impose its view on the world.

    Therefore, the colonies' future is uncertain.
