The best quote from *_Common Sense_* is: *_”A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.”_*
It is really disappointing that one would cover Thomas Paine's Common Sense, and make literally zero mention of the fact that he used an appeal to Faith as his primary argument against the validity of all (not just tyrannical) Monarchies. Thomas based his argument not just on an observed abuse of power by kings/queens/etc. historically, but on a combination of the understanding, derived through application of critical thinking, that a king which needed to be checked by Parliament was inherently unworthy, and that Scripture (common to nearly all of Europe as a singular authority) described the very office of Kingship as inherently corrupt, heathen, and profane.
Oh! So you've done the hard work, research, and editing to create your own UA-cam video on "Common Sense" and are therefore giving your criticism from a position of authority on the matter! Great! May we see the link to your video, please?
To the creator, thank you! Thank you for taking the time to create this. I possess the basic capacity to understand the context of the time, and research and judge any mistakes I think you might have made on my own. I also possess the basic wisdom to still appreciate how you break down Paine's arguments, as we can still gain a great deal of insight from it to improve future society. To that end, I invite every one of the brilliant, hard-working minds who had negative criticism of this video to post a link in the comments to your own UA-cam video of Thomas Paine's "Common Sense". With the criticism you all gave, obviously you have done the work, research, and editing to produce a better video on "Common Sense" than Pursuit of history has, and therefore your criticism serves everyone in the community! So please post the links to your own videos you have made, that we may all be further enlightened! It's impossible to imagine you have not done your own videos on this, as that would mean that all your criticism is meant to do is be self-serving. In that impossible scenario, your criticism would only serve the purpose of attracting attention to yourself without posting one source to back up your criticism, and therefore uselessly irritate and anger someone who put time and effort into this. Since none of you are selfish jerks, and all of you are valuable contributors to society, please prove it by letting us see the links to your videos. Thank you in advance! 🙂👍
This was good thank you. Let us not forget the contribution to liberty that was made earlier in the century when the play Cato by Joseph Adelson crossed the Atlantic; and prompted the founders of America to consider our becoming a Republic. Fact is they were always quipping from it. Steeped in Cicero, a Republican, it appealed to the astute among them; while Common Sense made good sense to everyone else; because as Paine insisted the break with England was inevitable.
Great question! After the Revolutionary War, Thomas Paine visited France where he was arrested. (He was mistaken for an aristocrat and also had a conflict with some powerful people there) He felt like George Washington didn’t do enough to support him during that time and even believed that Washington and others had secretly worked with the French in his arrest! He published a public letter expressing his anger towards Washington and was heavily criticized by the Americans because Washington was very popular.
The creator failed to mention that Paine was against many of the views of the founding fathers. He legit talked smack about them for their ignorance in saying "all men are equal" when they in fact were not talking about all men. Paine was a hero in standing up against their hypocritical views, so this is also why.
Paine was not for more representative demoracy, he favored more direct democracy. He also did NOT like the idea of an executive... hmm wonder why... executive-monarchy very similar... Paine was ahead of his time. Im proud to say I definitely wouldve been at his funeral, and yes, for most of his controversial ideas like how organized religion was 💩
Great video! But I'm wondering why you had black people in your animation. They didn't vote and their opinion wasn't considered for anything at the time.
Oh! So you've done the hard work, research, and editing to create your own UA-cam video on "Common Sense" and are therefore giving your criticism from a position of authority on the matter! Great! May we see the link to your video, please?
You need to see the other side, the side of the loyalist. Paine was a radical. James Chalmer's response to "Common Sense", saying it was Invalid and Barberic. He wrote "Plain Truth" which is about staying loyal to Britain. I think we should have too.

Common Sense was handed out in churches .
@Will McAlister do you have your own video? At least he actually read common sense. Unlike you

This channel so good is helping me pass my history class :D
Thank you so much!! :D
@@PursuitofHistory welcome
oh good for you. :D
This is very good and educational video👍👍👍👍💯💯💯🥶🥶🥶
Great video. Thanks for explaining this in a way that makes sense (something my professors don't know how to do).
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind note. 😀
Duh ofc it makes sense, it's COMMON SENSE
The problem today is that government now has become just like the monarchies
Well it’s a Republic where it’s about protecting the wealth of the country than the common man
We are no longer 13 states, but a empire! That in itself requires a larger size government!
What were the differences he had with the founding fathers that made him a pain?
Well I should say really thanks for such a brief video encapsulating all the ideas of common sense
@@funwithsabaoon891 I’m not sure how that answers my question

This video was so productive. Thanks a lot!!!😀
Thank you! 😀

Is it similar to the Reynolds Pamphlet?
very helpfull
Is it a summary for the book of common sense ?
Why don't the illustrated characters have mouths or noses?
What is a viral colonial sensation？never saw this kind of expression before！
Please make video on anti slavery poem to William Lloyd garrison by John green leaf
Great video! But I'm wondering why you had black people in your animation. They didn't vote and their opinion wasn't considered for anything at the time.
This was nice.
I didnt k ow that only 6 people attended his funeral.
Interesting and sad.
it's know not k ow
Those six people were quite angry when Paine did not attend their funerals.

He was the first cia
Lewes doesn't even get a mention.
0:20 Very accurate of the map of the UK at 1737
Thomas Paine was a legit Gigachad
And to think he died and was placed in a pauper's grave.
If common sense were common life would be beautiful 😁
A 47 page…. Pamphlet ?? Really. It’s a book w/o a binding
There is no such things as common sense. There are people with sense, and people without sense. People without sense are much more common!
Depends on who’s defining common sense!
You obviously have none.
Ain't So Common!
ya thats not comon it's Legendery! xd
It was January 9th 1776 not the 10th
Just gloss right over the age of reason...cuz that was insignificant...lol

Break free from Central banking, technocraic cartels.
you dident sey wen he died
xd i responding my own comment! xdddd.
At the end of his life.
If there had scrolling ,during the audio would be more beneficial peple like asisa

You need to see the other side, the side of the loyalist. Paine was a radical. James Chalmer's response to "Common Sense", saying it was Invalid and Barberic. He wrote "Plain Truth" which is about staying loyal to Britain. I think we should have too.
Isn't that what Elon musk wants for Mars?
Honestly, trust me,
Not a bot, bro!!!
Why no mouth or nose?
Sup g
Ive read common sense. He written it like an angst teenager which shouts "obviously a king is bad"
"Thomas Paine"? More like Thomas Paine-In-The-Arschenhole for being such an insufferable know-it-all
Someone sure sounds British 😂
Lol you’re just going to leave out WHY he died penniless and alone?

So he was a propagandist.
I mean he did more than just campaign for American independence, where was the rest of his story?
