Question: Thomas Paine common sense!?
What does Thomas Paine have to say about tradition in "common sense"Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
In the beginning of the Pamphlet Paine talks about "customs!." I'm not positive in this but he may be referring to traditions or in a sense false traditions!. He states "a long Habit of not thinking a Thing
wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of Custom!." He might be saying that many times that traditions are upheld just because they are traditions!. A cry to protect the traditions may arise just because of past experiences!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
