In the mind of the American Revolutionary, Thomas Paine, 'Common Sense' was independence. In the publication of the same name, Paine argued passionately (and, in fact, influentially) that nothing could be more sensible -- or, common-sensical -- than that a people governed by an unjust ruler should fight both to achieve their natural dignity and freedom and to maintain the same against any who might seek to take it away once more.
