Answer:

Common Sense is a 47-page pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–1776 advocating independence from Great Britain to people in the Thirteen Colonies. Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government.

John Locke believed in a self government, he also believe that people were born with natural rights that monarchs should not be allowed to take away. [Shout out to my man TJ for also using Common Sense to base the Declaration]
