Description:
Regarding Paine's writing, John Adams wrote, "Without the pen of Thomas Paine, the sword Washington would have been wielded in vain". Paine laid out the argument for independence in a way the average man and woman could comprehend, unlike his forerunners Locke and Rousseau. At the slump of this nation today, there is a need for Paine's pen again to light the flame for the people of the United States. This book gives an idea of what this Founder would say following the format of his initial writing, Common Sense.
