Thomas Paine was critical of foreign dominion, viewing it as a form of oppression that undermines the rights and freedoms of individuals. He believed that nations should be self-governing and that foreign rule leads to exploitation and the erosion of liberty. Paine argued for independence and self-determination, asserting that people have the right to govern themselves without external interference. His views emphasized the importance of national sovereignty and the rejection of Imperialism.

In "The Crisis," Thomas Paine refers to Great Britain as "a foreign dominion" to highlight the distance and separation between the American colonies and their British rulers. This term underscores the idea that Britain is an external power imposing its will on the colonies, which undermines their autonomy and rights. By framing Britain in this way, Paine aims to rally support for independence, emphasizing that true governance should come from within rather than from a distant monarchy.
That a man can distinguish between temper and principle and that America will never be happy until it is clear of all foreign dominion.
