"Common Sense," written by Thomas Paine in 1776, had a profound impact on the American Revolution and the formation of the U.S. government by galvanizing public opinion against British rule. It articulated the argument for independence in clear, accessible language, making the case for self-governance and the rejection of monarchy. This pamphlet helped unify the colonies in their quest for independence and encouraged the establishment of democratic principles that would later be reflected in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Ultimately, it played a crucial role in shaping the ideological foundation of the new nation.

I think Paine was trying to tell us that we should know that England was treating us unfairly. Everything in the pamphlet was a reminder of what should have been "Common Sense".
