Question

In common sense what does thomas paine say in response to the argument that the colonist have done well under the control of braitain

Answer 1

Paine says that this argument fails to acknowledge the fact that America has already evolved and no longer needs the help of Britain. Some argues that Britain has protected America and deserves allegiance, but Paine says that the Britain only did this to secure its own economic well-being. Moreover, Paine says that the Britain recently attacks them, and are therefore lacking loyalty. 

Hope this helps :)
