Thomas Paine defines "common sense" as the idea that it is reasonable and just for people to seek independence from oppressive rule, particularly from Britain. He argues that monarchy and hereditary succession are unnatural and detrimental to society. Paine emphasizes that it is the collective right of the people to govern themselves and create a system that promotes their welfare and freedom. In essence, he believes that rational thought and a desire for liberty should guide political actions and decisions.
