Thomas Paine: "Common Sense"

            In Thomas Paine's "Common Sense", he claims that America stands for the cause of independence and needs to declare its independence from England. He says that America should not be bound to England just because it is their mother country. If this was the case than shouldn't England be bound to France? He also says that since England declares to be Americas mother country... than England is a bad mother. Paine claims that it is common sense that to break away from war.
           Thomas Paine can connect with Immanuel Kant. Kant talks a lot bondage and being released from bondage. While Paine also talks a lot about being released from the bondage of England.

Question: Why is America fighting for freedom of the world?
