Max and Jorrel begin our month 18th century American history with a celebration of certified lad Thomas Paine, the cheerleader philosopher of the American Revolution! How did Thomas Paine grant legitimacy and organization to the budding continental independence movement? How are his writings on monarchy and sovereignty reflected in the Declaration of Independence? How does simplifying our laws encourage civic engagement? These questions and more are thoroughly discussed through the lens of one of the most underappreciated philosophers in American history.
