Common Sense is a political treatise written by Thomas Paine in 1775-1776. It is a highly influential work that played a pivotal role in the American Revolution, as it challenged the authority of the British monarchy and argued for independence.
In this work, Paine makes a persuasive case for the need for the colonies to break away from British rule and establish their own government. He argues that the colonies have the right to self-determination and that the British monarchy is illegitimate and oppressive.
Paine’s writing is characterized by its clarity, simplicity, and passion. He uses straightforward language and logical reasoning to make his case, and his message resonated with the American people, who were fed up with being ruled by a distant and unresponsive monarchy.
Common Sense is a must-read for anyone interested in the American Revolution and the birth of the United States. It is a powerful and thought-provoking work that continues to inspire and inform political discussions to this day.
