The tone of last paragraph of the Declaration of Independence is firm, sober, resolute, solemn, authoritative. This is the most important part of the text because it proclaims that from now on, the Colonies "are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown." It´s so powerful because the outcome is so ambitious and the cause - the cause of freedom - is so high and noble. Definitely, the tone conveys the relevance of the document.
Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense to convince the common people to support independence. ... Paine was unwilling to be reconciled with Britain because it brought war into the land. He was not an objective and unbiased reporter because he was going against the king.
