Most people in the colonies at the time considered they wouldn’t go to war, if they did and won, they’d become a vassal state.

Answer: Because it played a crucial role in convincing colonists to take up arms against England.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, "Common Sense" written by Thomas Paine, is credited as playing a crucial role in convincing colonists to take up arms against England. In it, Paine argues that representational government is superior to a monarchy or other forms of government based on aristocracy and heredity.

Paine proposed ideas to the colonists, three ideas for a change.

1) Declare Independence

2) Create a Republican state government

3) Union of the new states

.Its simplicity but accuracy helped the colonist understand it more easily.
