Thomas Paine had several arguments for seeking independence for American colonists. These arguments included the impractical rule by the British because of the slow communication.

Thomas Paine is most noted for writing "Common Sense" during the Revolutionary war. The 47 page pamphlet stated that citizens, not Kings and Queens, should make laws.
He believed that the American colonies had the right to be free from the British and so his idea of freedom helped the Declaration of Independence be formed. He specifically attacked the idea of a monarchy and hereditary aristocracy. He goes on to say it is absurd than an island governs a continent in his most prominent work, Common Sense. He also was a strong supporter of freethinking. He is controversially known for attacking institutionalized religion, and advocating deism. All of this comes mostly from his 3 part book -- The Age of Reason (1794- 1807, released in separate parts). Another important belief, shown in Common Sense and Rights of Man (supporting the French Revolution), is that a government should always protect the citizenry and their rights and interests. He advocated revolution and independence if necessary.
One publication that played a significant role in convincing colonists to break from Britain and declare independence was Thomas Paine's pamphlet "Common Sense." It made a compelling argument for why independence was necessary and helped galvanize public opinion in favor of revolution.
