Thomas Paine argues in "Common Sense" that the British protection of the colonies is not a valid justification for continued allegiance to the Crown. He points out that Britain has often acted in its own self-interest rather than for the benefit of the colonies, and that this supposed protection has come at a great cost. Paine emphasizes that true security and freedom can only be achieved through independence, rather than reliance on a distant power that prioritizes its own interests over those of the colonists.
