Beginnings of New Outline

Perspective: Loyalist, first person, responsive.

I. King is gracious/generous.
...A. "Constitution of North Carolina" disagreement...“That all political power is vested in and derived from the people only.” This is not loyal.
......1. Don't the Patriots remember where we came from?
......2. By the graciousness of the King we our ancestors were given charters for this blessed land
.........a. ...where even the poor people here do not suffer from poverty as much as others do in others places of the globe.
.........b. This gift of America we have received, where everyone has a chance for a good life, is thanks to the King.

II. Too much freedom means chaos.
...A. "Constitution of North Carolina" says “That elections of members, to serve as Representatives in General Assembly, ought to be free.”
......1. Is it wise to trust our fellow Americans to make good decisions voting? I wouldn't.
......2. Too much freedom will mean chaos for us. The structured monarchy of Britain kept our nation under control, and now, I predict, it will fall apart.
...B. “That the freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of liberty, and therefore ought never to be restrained.”
......1. Freedom of the press is a guaranteed way to stir up disorder and rebellion.

III. Patriots are rude/disrespectful/ungrateful.
...A. “...that the Thirteen United Colonies are, of right, wholly absolved from all allegiance to the British crown...”
......1. The Thirteen United Colonies do not have a right to absolve from Britain, because of British roots.
.........a. We are British citizens who came here to colonize, even if we were born here, our ancestors came from Britain.
...B. Loyalists are brave and honorable for stepping up to protect our mother country, Great Britain, despite the persecution against us!
......1. Thomas Paine said, “Every Tory is a coward; for servile, slavish, self-interested fear is the foundation of Toryism; and a man under such influence, though he may be cruel, never can be brave.”

Okay, so there is my first NEW outline since I decided to trash the last one. So far I have two sources, and I know I need THREE. So I shall decide which source I'd like to be as the third one, and continue expanding my outline. Or more sources if I want to...
