Common Sense was written by Thomas Paine in January of 1776, just prior to the American Revolution. At the time, the American Colonies were governed by a King and Parlament.

Paine suggested separation from England, create a congressional body to represent the people, elections held for president, and urges the transformation of American shipyards to begin building warships to match the British Navy's fleet
