This document was issued before the declaration of independence, in which Paine writes in a clear and assecible language, efficiently pondering all points where the English crown is wrong in maintaining colonialism in America. Paine was in favor of the independence movements and showed how big and powerful America is, it cannot be governed by a small island, like England.
