more help please?
What arguments did Thomas Paine use in Common Sense to persuade the colonists to declare independence?
Thomas Paine was only an outlet for what the common people were saying all over the colonies. Everyone was starting to realize how unfair English laws were and most of the settlers were in the Americas to escape from British opression. However Common Sense did tell colonists that opression could be ended. In a sense it "rallied the troops" and encouraged people to "Damn the Man"
the main arguement was no taxation without representation. menaing that the american colonies really had no representation in england where the rules were being made, also even with in their own society they were ruled by british governors and british leaders. the arguement was this simply isnt fair, why should they follow rules they had no say in and that they had no connection to
Thanks again xD
