Paine is criticizing the English form of government with its three legislative branches: the monarch (the executive), the House of Lords (the senate), and the House of Commons (the general assembly or house of representatives). Why does Paine associate the system of checks and balances with tyranny?

A. It's too connected to the French system of absolute power.
B. It's too unclear who holds the power, and there should be one central power to control the government.
C.There is still a disconnect from the people and they don't really check each other.
D.There should be a complete overthrow of the monarch with a two party system.
