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.

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