Answer: To persuade readers to fight for independence from Britain

Explanation: The purpose of Paine's Common Sense is to convince the colonists that they should fight for independence from Britain. The very name of the pamphlet indicates a natural inevitability, which is based on natural rights, where everyone should take their own destiny into their own hands. There is no excuse here, and no one should let his fate pass to another, even if he stems from another, because it is a natural law. It is therefore perfectly reasonable that if others, in this case, Britain, did not want to leave the colonists to their natural destiny, there was no excuse there, they had to fight for independence, no negotiations, no exchange of ideas, etc.
