Thomas Paine argues that a constitution serves as a foundational document that outlines the principles and framework of government, ensuring the protection of individual rights and liberties. He emphasizes that a constitution should reflect the will of the people and serve as a safeguard against tyranny. By establishing clear laws and limits on governmental power, a constitution provides stability and promotes justice within society. Ultimately, Paine views a constitution as essential for maintaining the social contract between the government and its citizens.

Adams is known for being the foremost proponent and the driving force for independence of the American colonies. Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of Americawritten by Adams in 1787, was a popular book which coincided with the creation of the United States Constitution.Thomas Paine was in Europe when the constitution was written. Paine wrote the widely read pamphlet entitled, Common Sense (1776) and a series of pamphlets known as The American Crisis (1776-1783) published in England. He spent many years in France supporting the French Revolution. John Adams is quoted as saying of Paine, "Without the pen of Paine, the sword of Washington would have been wielded in vain."Thomas Paine wrote the book known as "Common Sense", which stirred people up a bit but did not actually write the Declaration of Independence.
