is the founding document of the United States
Websites for the government of the United States tend to say that the United States' founding documents consists of The Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Other internet searches also say that there are "founding documents" for the United States but they do not say there is "the founding document" for this country. I have not yet found a source that says that the Declaration of Independence is the founding document of the United States. One way around this inconsistency is to say in the Wikipedia article something like: "This founding document" in referring to the Declaration of Independence.

In January 1776, Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense, which described the uphill battle against the British for independence as a challenging but achievable and necessary objective, was published Philadelphia.
It should read:
In January 1776, Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense, which described the uphill battle against the British for independence as a challenging but achievable and necessary objective, was published in Philadelphia.

The Paine quote:
These are the times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country . . .
is from The American Crisis, not Common Sense. 73.65.116.30 (talk) 03:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
