Best Answer

Thomas Paine based his reasoning on the idea that all men were independent and should have a voice in their country. Many colonists didn't know how to react to his pamphlet because of how he openly bashed the British monarchy; however, it helped lead the colonists into the American Resolution and gave them hope for a better future.
