Question 12
Considered by many historians as one of the most successful and influential pamphlets in the history of political writing, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense is a groundbreaking work that intends to expand dramatically the public sphere where political discussion took place. According to Paine, what was the historical importance of the American Revolution?
America is not a nation of immigrants.
The new nation would become the home of freedom, “an asylum for mankind.”
Without the control of the British Empire, America’s prospects were unlimited.
The pamphlet acclaims the principles of hereditary rule and monarchial government.
