How did Thomas Paine's Common Sense help Thomas Jefferson write the Declaration of Independence?

Thomas Paine's publication of Common Sense called for a manifesto to be published explaining why the American Colonies were forced to break ties with Britain. That manifesto was later published and is known as the Declaration of Independence. While Thomas Jefferson is credited with writing the Declaration of Independence, there is some evidence that Paine contributed significantly to its writing.
