Common Sense over the course of 1775 and 1776 it helped to galvanize the colonists to demand egalitarian government and separation from Great Britain.

Common Sense, but also the full text of
Rights of Man, Paine’s defense of the French Revolution, and the first five pamphlets in his
American Crisis series.
