Common Sense was an instant best-seller. Published in January 1776 in Philadelphia, nearly 120,000 copies were in circulation by April. Paine's brilliant arguments were straightforward. He argued for two main points: (1) independence from England and (2) the creation of a democratic republic. Paine avoided flowery prose. He wrote in the language of the people, often quoting the Bible in his arguments. Most people in America had a working knowledge of the Bible, so his arguments rang true. Paine was not religious, but he knew his readers were. King George was "the Pharaoh of England" and "the Royal Brute of Great Britain." He touched a nerve in the American countryside.

nikitadnepr [17]

With the regards to the statement that if not for Americans participating in WWI, Prohibition would not happen, this statement is <u>false</u>.

<h3>Why is this statement false?</h3>

The movement to enact prohibition was already growing strongly before the First World War broke out.

In fact, before the U.S. joined the war, those in support of Prohibition had majorities in the two houses of Congress. WWI was merely an event that sped up the rate of prohibition and without it, Prohibition would have still happened at a later stage.
