No one even comes close to Paine for political writings yet he is probably the least known of oor founding fathers. There is a reason for that.
A lot of his writings were considered radical and even considered treason in England at the time. A person could be convivtrd of treason in England, at the time, for even having a copy og his writings in their possesion. Teddy Rooselvelt once called him "that filthy athesist". George Washington let him rot in a Paris prison during his time as a pampleteer while writing for the cause of the American Revolution.
I urge everyone to read his "rights Of Man"
The Rights of Man
