Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an influential Anglo-American intellectual, theorist, and revolutionary who lived through key historical events. As a witness to both the American and French Revolutions, his experiences deeply shaped his enlightenment ideas. During the American Revolution War, his Common Sense showcased the practical application of his theories. Though Paine's contributions have often been overlooked over time due to changes in the environment, the interests of the people, and political differences, his ideas still hold significant importance in the history of the American Revolution.
