One reason "Common Sense" was so accessible to American colonists was that it was written in a simple and straightforward language that resonated with the common people. Instead of using complex and academic language, Thomas Paine, the author of "Common Sense," used plain and direct language that could be easily understood by a wide audience. This made the ideas and arguments presented in the pamphlet more accessible and relatable to the average colonist. Additionally, "Common Sense" was widely distributed and affordable, making it readily available to a large number of people and further contributing to its accessibility.
