Ultimately, he advocates for independence, asserting that the colonies should govern themselves for their own benefit.

Thomas Paine.
According to Thomas Paine, Great Britain was not genuinely protecting the colonies but rather exploiting them for its own economic gain. In his pamphlet "Common Sense," he argued that the British government's claims of protection were a facade, as the colonies were being burdened with taxes and military expenses without any true benefit or autonomy. Paine believed that true security and prosperity could only be achieved through independence and self-governance.
