Thomas Paine make this statement to convince people to support the independence movement

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

This statement was made by Thomas Paine in common sense. He made this statement in very blunt yet plain words where he said that the people should fight for their independence from the rule of the British people.

There should be no support to the British rule in any ways and all the colonists should support this movement of breaking the rule of the British. He said the people who would disagree with him would be stupid.
