"Common Sense" By Thomas Paine

A book that caused such a big impact for british but especially for The American colonies was "Common Sense" written by Thomas Paine on January 1776. Since the moment it was published it was immediately the best seller in both, colonies, and British. Because of it, Paine became internationally famous. This book is considered one of the most influential things that helped the American Revolution to occur, it is also one of the most brilliant pamphlets ever written in the English language. The main plot of the book was to explain, or to blame the british monarchy for the unfair things they were doing in the colonies.

The things written in these book helped to encourage the colonies to write their declaration of independence. Most of the ideas of the book were added in the declaration. Paine didnt realize that the book also got a world wide impact, because all the rights that he described the coloies wanted, were also the rights every single person in the world wanted to have.

Some of the things Paine argud in his book were that that was a good time to separate from England of the size of the colonies and their own capabilities, also he explained how America could build an army as strong as the british. He recommended of making better America´s security and prosperity in trade, because now the could trade with any country they wanted to.Paine also argues that America is sufficiently small  to be united now. So as you can see this book helped people to fight for their rights, and defend the place were they were living.
