Common Sense
Inhaltsangabe
Common Sense is a pamphlet by Thomas Paine published in January 1776, written to argue for independence from Great Britain for the Thirteen Colonies. Through clear, persuasive prose, Paine lays out moral and political reasons meant to encourage common people to support an egalitarian form of government. The work appeared anonymously at the opening of the American Revolution and gained immediate attention, becoming a highly influential American publication. Paine connects the case for independence with Protestant beliefs and presents his arguments in a sermon-like structure, aiming to make an early, direct case for full separation at a time when many still favored reconciliation.
