Thomas Paine

Common Sense Thomas Paine

Published in 1776, Common Sense was among series of famous pamphlets that helped the Americans break free from British dominance, ultimately leading to American independence.

Common Sense was instrumental in igniting patriotism among the locals and helping them to become freedom fighters on their journey to liberty. Arguing the need for a ruler to rule over people rather than simply to serve them was what made Americans fight for the universal truth of all being born equal.

Thanks to its powerful message, the publication became a masterpiece that helped to wake up a whole continent from its 'deep sleep'. It also fits well with today's times explaining the role of government and how it can be formed with all its limitations in force. Explaining disadvantages of letting someone rule over us, it enlists all valid reasons why we need to be free.

Common Sense was written by Thomas Paine, an English-born American revolutionary. Born in 1737, he used the power of the media to fight against the powerful political system and set an example for the coming generations to follow. By the time he died in 1809, he had contributed immensely in numerous political upheavals in America, France, and England.
