Answer 2

In this quotation, Paine argues that the American desire for independence is universal, or shared by everyone.

Thomas Paine wrote the 47-page pamphlet called 'Common Sense'. This quote stands from that part of the pamphlet.

• The Britishers had just given freedom and freed the 13 colonies under their control when this pamphlet was released.
• And this advocated the launch of this book during that period.
• It was just the beginning of the American revolution and he targeted the same through his writing.
• He says that the power or the urge for freedom has led to wars here, and this continues to rise in near future with every country in the world.
• Any country under the control or slavers of some other country would rebel and fight for their own freedom as that's the nature of mankind.
