Based on my reading, I would say that Thomas Paine's influence was more to the people than the government. The losses of the Continental Army and the effect of the English habitation and Propaganda were crushing what remained of our independent spirit. Common Sense gave people, especially the soldier, something to hold on to, and gave them will to continue. Those were the times that tried mens souls, without a doubt. I believe the people then had a better sense of what they wanted from government. Remember, we did not have a Constitution yet. Hope this helps.
