The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The patriots wanted to give the citizens more say in the government.

In colonial American times, Patriots were the colonists that supported the idea to demand independence from the English crown. On the other hand, there were the Loyalists. These people supported the British crown and did not want independence. They say that the colonies could not survive without the presence of the British government.

However, the Patriots invited people to participate in the sayings against the English crown. That is what Thomas Pain did when he published his pamphlet titled "Common Sense." He invited colonists to unite and declare independence from Great Britain.
