the central point of thomas paine's common senso was that it

Explanation:

The purpose of Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" was to grow the patriot cause, and Paine argued for independence from England and the creation of a democratic republic. Paine was direct and to the point in his writing style, avoiding all flowery pose. This direct writing style helped him appeal to the people as he wrote in their language.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
