Book Details

First Sentence

"In his pamphlet Common Sense, published six months before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine called for a “CONTINENTAL CONFERENCE,” which, “being impowered by the people,” would have the legal authority to draw up a “CHARTER,” a written document for America “answering to what is called the Magna Charter of England.""
