Who wrote 'Common Sense' in 1776 to advocate for American independence from Great Britain?

  1. Thomas Paine

  2. John Locke

  3. Benjamin Franklin

  4. George Washington

The correct answer is: Thomas Paine

'Common Sense' is a influential pamphlet that was written by Thomas Paine in 1776. While all of the other options were important figures in American history, they did not write 'Common Sense' specifically. John Locke, for example, was a philosopher whose ideas heavily influenced the American Revolution, but he did not write the document. Benjamin Franklin and George Washington were both founding fathers who played integral roles in the movement towards independence, but neither wrote 'Common Sense'. Therefore, the correct answer is Thomas Paine.
