What were the historical purposes and consequences of Thomas Paine's common sense

Thomas Paine wrote about common sense because he wanted the common people of the thirteen colonies which were under the British to fight for their independence from the authority of the British people.

Paine, in his pamphlet wrote certain political and moral talks which could encourage these common people. This resulted in the pamphlet having a great impact on the people to fight for the cause for which this was written.
