Autor

Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an English-American Founding Father, inventor, political philosopher, and statesman. He wrote Common Sense (1776) and The American Crisis (1776-1783) at the start of the American Revolution and both pamphlets were significant drivers of the patriot cause. His landmark political tracts inspired the American Declaration of Independence and human rights advocacy to this day.
