AP US History
Unit 2 – Colonial Society, 1607–1754
Topic 2.7
How does the audience for Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" impact its historical interpretation?
As it was written for American colonists, it lacks a global perspective.
It was aimed at intellectuals and may be too complex for common understanding.
As it targeted the British monarchy, it is biased against them.
As it was intended for the general public, it simplifies complex political ideas.
