Thomas Paine'sCommon Sense: Addressed to the inhabitants of America?, is a well-written document that was addressed to the early colonists of America during the time of the American Revolution. This work of literature incited patriotism in the hearts of those that were fortunate enough to written, because it addressed to them eloquently exactly what was going on and why the needed to stand up to the corrupt government of England.Common Sense for a new century: addressed to the Citizens of America? by.
Howard Dean, however, is campaign advertisement propaganda meant only to draw attention to Dean's run for the presidency. The two works differ in many ways but are also similar in a few ways.

Early Americans did not have the technologies that are society benefits from today. One such example is the area communication. In the times of America's humble beginnings, all communication was performed through word of mouth or the passing of texts from hand to hand. Now something can easily be read by millions by just posting to the Internet, being circulated through a few well-syndicated newspapers, or by an announcement on television. The passing of Paine's version ofCommon Sense? was done through thehand-to-hand? method. It was spread throughout the colonies of North America and read by most of the then colonist population. Though Dean's version ofCommon Sense? has little in common with the original, Dean decided to write in his version a blurb that readMake copies of this pamphlet -- distribute it to everyone you know and leave it in public places for others to find?, which made his campaign seem as though it was part of an underground patriot movement, much like as it was during the Revolutionary War. This might appeal to many Americans patriotic side, so ultimately it led to be a smart move on Dean's part.
