In his common sense what did Thomas Paine argue?
In his book, "Common Sense," Thomas Paine's main argument is that the Colonists should be able to govern themselves. For example, few people leave a populated area to isolation where any problem can be solved within themselves. As society increases, laws and regulations are needed. When the population grows where it is impossible for all to meet in one place, then elections must take place and what, as Thomas Paine calls it, best balance for a government. Paine feels It was absurd for an island to rule a continent and that America was not a "British nation"; it was composed of influences and peoples from all of Europe. He also stated that if Britain was a mother country, that her brutality on her children would be considered horrendous. Paine concludes that the colonies are for Britain's interest and not care about the interest of the colonists.

What arguments did Thomas Paine used in common sense to persuade the colonist to declare independence?
Thomas Paine was only an outlet for what the common people were saying all over the colonies. Everyone was starting to realize how unfair English laws were and most of the settlers were in the Americas to escape from British opression. However Common Sense did tell colonists that opression could be ended. In a sense it "rallied the troops" and encouraged people to "Damn the Man"
