Respuesta :
A republic was quite appealing to them, due to the fact that Paine supported it with "Power to the people". Common Sense described the king's monarchy as corrupt and despotic, and it was just in time for the American Revolution, where colonists revolted against Great Britain for their own power and independence.

Thomas Paine's Common Sense inspired colonists because it gave several different legitimate reasons why the American colonists should become free of British rule.
Further Explanation:
Thomas Paine was an English citizen who moved to the American colonies right before the beginning of the American Revolution. After visiting the American colonies, he wrote his most famous work (called Common Sense). This pamphlet was a detailed description as to why America should declare independence and become its own free, sovereign nation. Some of Paine's reasons include:
1) The British government was ineffective- due to the distance between the British government and the American colonies it took several months for communication. This meant decision making took an extremely long time.
2) Britain is much smaller than the American colonies- Great Britain is technically a very small island while the North American British colonies are much larger in size.
3) Britain has dragged American colonists into different fights that the Americans did not want to participate in.- A perfect example of this would be the French and Indian War. American colonists did not necessarily have a problem with the French. However, because Britain had a problem with France, American colonists were forced to fight against them in the French and Indian War.
Paine's Common Sense was one of many different pieces of literature that inspired Americans to declare their independence from Great Britain. The work of John Locke also inspired Americans to break free from Great Britain.
