Answer:

Thomas Paine was a Political Philosopher in the United States. In his writings, he stated the need for a Declaration of independence from Great Britain. The Pamphlets written by Thomas Paine include Common sense, Right of man and American crisis.

Common sense- It is an article that particularly talked about the Independence of America from Great Britain. It is divided into four parts. These parts explain the government of Britain and the Constitution. It talks about the Monarchical system, the current state of the United States and America's capability.

Generally, it criticizes the Monarchical system of governance by Britain and the major fact that the Monarchs are only in government to "declare wars" and apportion lands, nothing else. He further advises that America is permitted to revolt against the British Monarchy.

Right of a man- According to Thomas Paine, there are some rights accrued to a person in a society and that these rights should in no way be curtailed. In this essay, he states that revolution against the political structure of a state is allowed where the government does not protect the natural rights of the people.

American crisis-  American crisis- this pamphlet also referred to the Revolutionary War between America and Great Britain. He also referred to the bible as he states that God will be of great help in the revolution.
