Thomas Paine was an English American author and commentator whose "Common Sense" and different scripts inspired the Westerner Revolution, and served to cover the route for the Declaration of Independence. Common Sense is a compilation composed by Thomas Paine in 1775–76 vindicating independence from Great Britain to personages in the Thirteen Territories. Inscribed indefinite and powerful prose, Paine ordered ethical and legislative contentions to support ordinary people in the Territories to struggle for the impartial rule.
