Description

Thomas Paine originally wrote Common Sense to emphasize the need for independence from the British rule, but its call for freedom and rational discourse remains a vital touchstone in discussions of democracy and human rights, influencing generations of thinkers and activists. Paine presents a compelling argument for independence from the British rule, insisting upon the principles of liberty, equality and self-governance. With clear and persuasive prose, he critiques monarchy and hereditary succession while advocating for a democratic republic.

Common Sense not only galvanized public sentiment but also laid the ideological foundation for the American Revolution.

About the Author

Thomas Paine was a British-American philosopher, journalist, and a revolutionary writer. He was born on February 9, 1737, in Norfolk, Great Britain. In 1774, he emigrated to America. Paine is most famous for his revolutionary writings like Common Sense (1776), which is said to have been read by all the revolutionaries during the American Revolution. His other notable works include The American Crisis (1776-1783), and The Rights of Man (1791), The Age of Reason (1793- 1794), Agrarian Justice (1797).

Paine is regarded as an advocate of transnational human rights. He has also supported the land reforms and democratic principles. He was once imprisoned for speaking in favour of the French Revolution. Paine had a persuasive writing style. He strove for simplicity and clarity in his writings to reach a mass audience. Paine died on June 8, 1809, in New York, United States
