In "Common Sense," Thomas Paine argues that the geographic distance between America and Great Britain makes it impractical for a distant monarchy to govern effectively. He emphasizes that the vast ocean separating the colonies from Britain creates logistical challenges for communication and governance, rendering British rule inefficient and disconnected from the realities of American life. Paine suggests that self-governance would allow Americans to make decisions more suited to their unique circumstances and needs.
