Common Sense
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)

Pharaoh of England" and "the Royal Brute of Great Britain." He touched a
nerve in the American countryside.
