History

History The tastes for liberty and equality these men have are as different from each other as sour, sweet and hot. To understand their different tastes, you have to first understand who these men are and what they care about. Paine was a British American Philosopher who wrote “Common Sense”. He helped strengthen the colonists side of the argument of what freedom and liberty are all about. Franklin was an American statesman, scientist, philosopher, and publisher. While in office he negotiated a treaty that provided loans and military support for the Revolution. Jefferson wrote the influential Summary View of the Rights of British America, stating that the British Parliament had no authority to legislate for the colonies. Thomas Paine made a persuasive case to all American’s that independence was good. He had very little of what to say about what to do after independence. He felt that the British Constitution was flawed, while American’s praised it. His philosophy was: the simpler a government the better a government. Tom Paine was a real pain in the ass.
