{"product_id":"common-sense-thomas-paine-9798995971832","title":"Common Sense: No Kings Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are dangerous words for dangerous times. In \u003cem\u003eCommon Sense\u003c\/em\u003e, Thomas Paine demolished monarchy as an idea, as a principle, and as a political option. In America, Paine argued, the law is king, and no person ever will be. Now 250 years later, the best-selling pamphlet of the American Revolution has a renewed urgency. The incendiary words that sparked American independence challenge us not only to understand what America once was, but to decide what America will be. This No Kings Edition reproduces the text of the Bradford\/Towne printing of February 14, 1776 - the edition Thomas Paine himself supervised, expanded, and considered definitive - held in the Charles Deering Library at Northwestern University. It includes a preface by Ben Ponder, Ph.D., placing Paine's argument against monarchy in its contemporary context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Paine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798995971832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackletter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Thomas Paine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659876413695,"sku":"9798995971832","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/common-sense-thomas-paine-9798995971832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
