Answer :
Claim 1- The distance from England to America is too far for England to properly govern America.
Claim 2- The time it takes to travel between the two countries makes governing and communication too difficult to be effective.
Argument- To be always running three or four thousand miles with a tale or a petition, waiting four or five months for an answer, which when obtained requires five or six more to explain it in, will in a few years be looked upon as folly and childishness—there was a time when it was proper, and there is a proper time for it to cease.
