It railed against British policies in it's colonies, and got many colonists (the intelligent and/or educated ones who could read, anyway) to question British rule of America.

1) "You don't need education to know that's stupid... just use your common sense."

The thing that humanity needs in order to survive. Instead, we have certain people with no common sense (Logan/Jake Paul, Lil Tay, and many other human beings). To put it in simple words, it is a power that could save humanity yet no one has it.
