Notes
Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was a revolutionary thinker and writer whose works helped shape modern democracy. His pamphlet Common Sense (1776) urged American independence, while The American Crisis (1776-1783) inspired Revolutionary War soldiers with its famous opening, These are the times that try mens souls. Rights of Man (1791-1792) defended the French Revolution and called for political reform. His bold ideas on freedom, equality, and governance made him one of the most influential political writers of his time.
