Thomas Paine’s ‘Common Sense’ is a revolutionary pamphlet that played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of the American colonies during the Revolutionary War. Paine’s straightforward and persuasive writing style makes complex political ideas accessible to the common reader, as he argues for the independence of the colonies from British rule. The pamphlet criticizes monarchy and hereditary succession, advocating for a democratic form of government based on the principles of natural rights and equality. ‘Common Sense’ serves as a powerful call to action, inspiring many colonists to support the cause of independence. Paine’s bold and uncompromising language challenges readers to consider their own beliefs and commitments to the revolutionary cause. This seminal work marks a turning point in American history, setting the stage for the Declaration of Independence and the establishment of a new nation.
