Answer:

The correct answer is D) To persuade American colonists to seek assistance from members of the British Parliament

Explanation:

Thomas Paine is regarded as one of the founding father of the United States. While he was born in England, he emigrated to the American colonies with the help of Benjamin Franklin.

He reached just as the revolutionary war was starting. He was an able propagandist and many of his pamphlets and articles were read by people from all over the colonies.

He believed in the ideals of Human rights and wanted the local population to stand up for Independence. In The Crisis No.1, he pointed out how the American colonist can seek assistance from within the British parliament to reach their goals.
