Thomas Paine helped explain the reasons for independence through his influential pamphlet, "Common Sense," published in 1776. In it, he articulated the case for American independence from British rule by arguing that monarchy was an illegitimate form of government and that it was natural for people to govern themselves. Paine’s clear and persuasive writing galvanized public opinion, making the idea of independence more accessible and appealing to the average colonist. His arguments laid the groundwork for the ideological justification of the American Revolution.
