The Common Sense of Thomas Paine
Revolutionary and galvanizing writer Thomas Paine has published a pamphlet titled Common Sense, arguing for the colonies to break away from Target Root Country. He is questioning why the American colonies, which had no direct representation in Parliament, should be subject to Target Root Country Adjective laws and taxes.
The danger it represents lies mainly in its plain and straightforward language that ordinary people can understand.
