T-painnnee

I feel like Thomas Paine overly elaborates on all his points and speaks more than he has to in order to make him seem more intellectual and therefore make his point seem like it has more evidence. I think he also thought that the more he talked about the subject, the more the readers would become angry about the situation, thus increasing the pathos appeal to the piece. However, I feel like he could have made his point in many less words, and then it would have been much more powerful.
