The colonial group that was influenced most by the political view expressed in Thomas Paine's Common Sense was the Patriots.

The Patriots were against the presence of the British rule in the 13 American colonies. These Patriots were desperate by the many injustices suffered by the imposition of the English monarchy, as was the case of the heavy taxation such as the Navigation Acts or teh Stamp Act.
