Paine believed that Britain wasn't worthy of being a republican because the Americans didn't have the representation in Parliament. Hope this helps :)

Paine believed that Britain was unworthy of being called a republic because:
1) The US didn't have any say in what they can or cannot do. (they didn't have a representative
2) The British literally had a king (George III)

etc

hope this helps
