The author of "Common Sense" was instrumental in America's Revolutionary War. Name that political writer.

Answer Thomas Paine

Writing the very first pamphlet to promote American independence, the England-born political writer, Thomas Paine, was no stranger to revolution. He advocated for causes in both America and Europe, including the French Revolution in his written defense, "Rights of Man". "Common Sense", his first pamphlet, was internationally lauded and he continued on with his analysis in his Revolutionary War papers, “The American Crisis". Probably not a great surprise that the man spent a stretch in prison.
