Why did Thomas Paine believed that a National debt is good for a country?
Paine's exact words are "The debt we may contract doth not deserve our regard, if the work be but accomplished. No nation ought to be without a debt. A national debt is a national bond; and when it bears no interest, is in no case a grievance." He recognises that a country needs to spend money on certain public works such as national defense and provision for the poor. He also seems to think the debt will give its holders a stake in the country and thus contribute to social cohesion. However, his hope that these holders will charge no interest is not especially realistic. And he devotes considerable energy to showing the damage that can be done if the debt gets out of control.

How does Common Sense by Thomas Paine reflect the philosophy of John Locke's social contract theory?
Locke's social contract states that individuals give their country permission, either voluntarily or involuntarily, to assume some of their rights, and the individuals submit to the authority of the government, in exchange for protection of their remaining rights and freedoms. This theory relates directly to what Paine says in Common Sense, in that the colonies have participated in the social contract by forfeiting their righs to the English Crown, but the Crown has not upheld its end of the bargain and has not secured or protected their remaining rights.
