clairelauren clairelauren 29-10-2019 History contestada I am the cousin of Samuel Adams and a merchant businessman. I believed in the ratification of the Constitution so much that I wrote 51 essays encouraging states to ratify the Constitution. I spied on British Soldiers and reported on their movements. I am an English American writer who wrote and distributed the pamphlet Common Sense to encourage colonists to fight for independence. I didn't like the reduction of state's rights in the new Constitution so I helped encourage the creation of the Bill of Rights. I played a key role in introducing the Great Compromise during the Constitutional Convention. 1. Paul Revere 2. Roger Sherman 3. Alexander Hamilton 4. John Adams 5. Patrick Henry 6. Thomas Paine
