The most illogical argument in Common Sense. What was it? There are many arguments in Common Sense. One of these is that it is insane for an Island (Great Brittan) to want to rule a continent from across the ocean. That they were too far away. They let the pilgrims sail away from them for a reason and now they are trying to rule them again. Some loyalists to Brittan said that Great Brittan had helped America thrive and without Brittan, America would not be doing well. Paine argued that America would have thrived more without Brittan. The most illogical argument in Common Sense might be where Paine claimed that if Brittan goes into a war, they’ll drag America into it. He said that America had no quarrel with Brittan’s enemies and while that is true, America would have possible joined Brittan’s enemies just to kick Brittan out of America.
