Common Sense
I think that the colonists needed to have good examples or ways to tell others what they think. They didn’t have any good evidence, for the British, before that. The colonists might have needed to have some good reasons to justify their actions. It would get other colonists thinking about what they have done with Britain and how it might be a better idea to separate from them since they haven’t been flourishing. It might change the minds of some colonists who are loyalist or maybe patriot. Common Sense would seem like a good name for the colonists. They think that it is common sense to separate from Britain and to start a new country. The colonists don’t think that they are being unwise with their decisions so it would be normal to call it common sense. I think that it would help the colonists who are already patriots to see why they are going against the British. It is convincing, it makes the British sound like they are holding on too tightly to the colonies and the colonies seem like they are right in their decisions. He does have good points in his pamphlet.

Common Sense
Colonists needed to hear this because this was the time that the colonists were divided between independence and British rule. The colonists are debating whether they should become a country itself or depend on the British rule. They are searching for a way to establish a government for their country. I think this is labeled as “Common Sense” because Paine believed it was obvious that the colonists should break free from the British rule. Paine argues that history would only repeat itself if the colonists don’t seek full independence. He says that it would be nearly impossible for the country to return to a state of peace under Britain after the countless number of battles and financial problems. Yes, I think this is convincing because I believe that if America stays under British rule, the country will face financial problems. America should break free from the British because as a independent country, America would be able to establish its own government with its own rule that would satisfy its people.
