Thomas Paine's principle contribution to the Revolutionary War was his pamphlet, 'Common Sense, which is credited with inflaming the common man to demand liberty. Once liberty had been achieved, Paine was not interested in the tedious work of setting up a new government, and was abroad at the time of the Constitutional Convention.
