Thomas Paine published a pamphlet, ‘common sense’ in 1775-1776, to support and advocate the independence of Americans from British colonies. In this pamphlet, Thomas Paine wrote in persuasive and clear prose through logical, moral, and political arguments against the colonial oppression of the British on the people of 13 colonies of the United States across the Atlantic coast of the country. He urged the people of the United States to fight and strive for independence and had a great influence on masses as his publication was distributed and read aloud widely. He presented the case of freedom as an essential requirement for the people of the United States against the colonial setup. One of the famous and inspiring sentences of James Paine is “Everything which is natural and right demands doe separation. Even the distance between England and America placed by Almighty is one natural and strong proof that the one’s authority on the other is not even in the design of nature.” This is a very important quote and powerful in the sense that it provides a logical argument against the British colonial political framework. No government can rule and impose its policies on people and countries that are thousands of miles away from the capital. He argued that it is not possible to determine a proper name for British rule and colonies in these states. After the discovery of America, the British royal family and kingdom can't rule over people and restrict their rights of freedom, equality, and justice.
Paine's style was very effective, and his arguments had a great impact on prescient debates of government, morals, and mechanisms of democracy. John Adams, one of the pioneer freedom leaders of America, highly regarded the work of Thomas Paine and considered this a pure work of democracy without any confusion and evil.
