Answer 1

Thomas Paine thought the situation in America was really serious and unfair. He believed British rule was hurting the colonies and that staying under the king and Parliament kept Americans from being free and prosperous. Paine said the only real solution was for the colonies to break away and form their own government where people had rights and a say. He urged unity and action, arguing that America had the strength and reason to become independent and build a better future.
