Thomas Paine argued in his pamphlet "Common Sense" that the only solution to unfair treatment by Britain was complete independence from British rule. He believed that the colonies had the right to self-govern and should break free from monarchy to establish a democratic government. Paine emphasized that staying loyal to Britain would only lead to continued oppression, while independence would allow for the creation of a fair society based on equality and justice.
