"Common Sense," an influential pamphlet advocating for American independence from British rule, was published by Thomas Paine in January 1776. In it, Paine criticized monarchy and hereditary succession, particularly targeting King George III, and argued for the establishment of a democratic government. The pamphlet played a crucial role in swaying public opinion towards the cause of independence during the American Revolution.
