    According to the Penguin Books edition of The Letters of John and Abigail Adams, John Adams sent his wife Abigail a copy of Thomas Paine's Common Sense in the first few months of 1776. Abigail Adams quickly proved to be an enthusiastic fan of Common Sense. In a letter dated March 2, 1776, Abigail Adams wrote:

    I am charmed with the general sentiments of "Common Sense," and wonder how an honest heart, one who wishes the welfare of his country and the happiness of posterity, can hesitate one moment at adopting them.

    That doesn't sound like much of a critique to me.
