REGISTER NOW Founders' Library: Common Sense Read time: 5 minutes One of the all-time American bestsellers, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense exploded on the scene in January 1776, at a precarious moment when reconciliation with Great Britain seemed unlikely yet, to many, independence still seemed unthinkable. In electric prose, Paine made a forceful case in defense of separation. On multiple scores, the pamphlet radiated a radical democratic spirit. In plain, unadorned writing, it appealed to the common capacities of all people to evaluate the case for independence.
