What did thomas paine do that got him into so much trouble? what does thomas paine say is the real reason england protects the 13 colonies?  

Thomas Paine went against the king and published "Common Sense". The king saw this as being rebellious and going against his word. Thomas Paine believed that the only reason why England was protecting the 13 colonies was to gain money and riches.

the correct answer is: (1) affected by gerrymandering; (2) not affected by gerrymandering.

gerrymandering is known as a practice that intends to establish a some kind of political advantage for a particular party or group. to do this district boundaries are manipulated. the new resulting district is named a gerrymandering.

in other words, what gerrymandering does is to draw the boundaries of electoral districts trying to benefit the party who is doing it. sometimes, the party controlling the legislature will redraw it so they can maximize the number of districts they are likely to control.
