Common Sense

Common Sense is a revolutionary pamphlet published in 1776 by Thomas Paine, advocating for American independence from British rule. Written in clear and persuasive language, the work criticizes monarchy, argues for the natural rights of individuals, and calls for a democratic republic. Paine’s compelling rhetoric and logical arguments helped galvanize public support for the American Revolution, making Common Sense one of the most influential political writings of its time.
