One of his most famous writings was the common Sense and this influenced the American revelution! Some of his other famous writing were The Age of Reason, and the Common Sense. He believed that people should have the right to be free!!!]]> 2020-09-15 19:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sheppardlr/lv8u3m0bj457wjtv/wish/749367414 sheppardlr https://padlet.com/sheppardlr/lv8u3m0bj457wjtv/wish/749383330 My opinion on his way of influencing the us government was that i think that his writings were very strong and really meant a lot to the americans because they really talk a lot about how the american revelution was written and they tell a lot of facts about it too! So, I think Thomas Paine's essays and books are really important because they tell a lot of facts about the American Revalution!! I agree that people should have the right to be free because if we have freedom all the time, then we wouldn't get in trouble all the time. Also, Americans would be able to participate in a lot more things as a kid if they had more freedom in their lives! So, I agree with Thomas Paine!!!]]> 2020-09-15 19:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sheppardlr/lv8u3m0bj457wjtv/wish/749383330
