Explanation:

Thomas Paine was one of the leading figures in the liberation of the United States from Britain. He was a thinker of liberal ideology who through his works, especially The Common Sense, written in 1776, urged the American colonists to rebel against the British rule that existed until then in the Thirteen Colonies.

Paine identified the colonial relationship between America and Great Britain as the main problem of the Thirteen Colonies, that depended on the metropolis for most of the economic and political decisions that were made in their territory, thus limiting the freedom and opportunities of the colonists to develop a dignified life in their territories. Thus, through his pamphlets he urged the colonists to rise up against the colonial government and fight for the independence of the nation.
