Why was Thomas Paine’s Common Sense more widely influential in the American colonies than documents like Richard Bland’s Inquiry into the Rights of the British Colonies?

It was written in plain language that many could understand.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet named Common Sense. This was the document that brought light on the advocacy of the freedom and liberty from the government. Paine presented the argument and termed the government to be 'necessary evil'. He presented the power of society and the common people that would help them gain independence. The pamphlet was written in a surreal and simple manner. It reached to the most number of people and brought the view of independence in their mind.  While Richard Bland’s 'Inquiry into the Rights of the British Colonies' was written in a superficial language that didn't reached to the masses.
