Explanation:

Thomas Paine's political pamphlet "Common Sense" was written primarily to persuade the American people about the need of freedom and independence from Great Britain. Printed anonymously, the pamphlet was distributed in every possible space, be it taverns or public spaces. It helped spread the idea of a free nation for the thirteen colonies of America.

In the events leading up to the American Revolutionary War, this pamphlet became the main source of proposing the urgent need of freedom from colonial rule and the importance of having their own government and leaders. As pamphlets are more common and easily accessible during that time, they act as an important means of spreading ideas and opinions. With the interest of appealing to the public in a large scale, Paine's pamphlet offers a source as well as a means to advocate for the independence of the states from the British monarchy and rally the American people together under the common interest of freedom.
