Answer:

Thomas Paine's Common Sense inspired colonists because he supported a gradual move toward independence from Britain.

Explanation:

Paine encouraged rational ideas, called by him of "common sense," criticizing the excessive taxes decreed by His Majesty's government as unfair and economically wrong, favoring smuggling and corruption; the prohibition of trading with other nations, causing the loss of material fortunes; and the lack of continental representatives in the British parliament. He argued that the solution to all these problems was independence, a position he disclosed in the most famous of the printed brochures, Common Sense, written in 1776.

The Common Sense doctrine marked a milestone in history, by not basing political decisions on doctrines based on history, religion, nation, honor or a priori notions, but on criteria endorsed by the experience of human beings and in reason. Common Sense paved the way for the Declaration of Independence of the United States, ratified on July 4 of the same year.

Thomas Paine's Common Sense was intended as a guidebook for the average colonial man. Therefore, the book discussed opportunities for the typical man reading. Common Sense did cover independence from the British, yet the focus of the book was to inform the people of what they could do to better their lives and communities.
