C. Common Sense connects Enlightenment ideas to the American movement for independence.

Explanation:

"Common Sense" was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in which he openly described many of the abused committed by the British government.  Some of the ideas in the text can be connected to ideas from the Enlightenment, such as the concept of "social contract" that states that the government's function is to serve the people, and that if it does not act in the people's best interest then the people have the right to remove it.

he supported the seperation of church and state. he also promoted religious tolerance.
