    Thomas Paine wrote the pamphlet "Common Sense" which inspired the colonies to ask for independence. Paine argues that society is a different institution than the government, he said that the government is an institution that only exists to protect us from our own vices but it had origin in evil but it is necessary that has to protect life, liberty, and property.

    He argues that Britain has only protected America in order to secure its own economic well-being, instead of protecting them Britain attacked them and did not deserve American's loyalty.
