Explanation:

Thomas Paine was a politician, writer, philosopher, radical intellectual and American revolutionary of English origin. Promoter of liberalism and democracy. He is considered one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.

Born in Thetford, in the English county of Norfolk, Paine emigrated to the British colonies in America in 1774 to participate in the American Revolution. His main contributions were the widely read essay Common Sense (1776), where he advocated the independence of the colonies and The American Crisis (1776-1783) a series of writings in favor of the revolution.

In 1789 he visited France and lived there for most of the following decade. He was deeply involved in the early years of the French Revolution. He wrote Rights of Man (1791), partly a defense of the French Revolution against his critics, in particular the British statesman Edmund Burke. In Great Britain, he was tried and convicted in absentia for the crime of seditious libel. Despite not speaking French, he was elected to the National Convention in 1792. The Girondins saw him as an ally for what the mountaineers, especially Robespierre, considered his enemy. In December 1793, he was arrested and imprisoned in Paris and released in 1794. He became known for The Age of Reason (1793-94), a book that advocates deism, promotes reason and freethought, argues against the institutionalized religion and Christian doctrines. He also wrote Agrarian Justice (1795), discussing the origins of property and introducing the concept of minimum guaranteed income.
