Description

Published anonymously on January 10, 1776, Thomas Paine's legendary work made the case for American independence. An immediate sensation across the thirteen colonies, Common Sense extolled Paine's belief that government should be simple and represent the will of the people, acting not as an oppressor but as a body to protect society.

His clear and persuasive argument appealed to the common people, impressing on them the importance of secession from Great Britain.

Six months after Common Sense was published, independence was declared, and the American Revolution was born. AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling.

Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature's most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds. Revised edition: Previously published as Common Sense, this edition of Common Sense (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
