Oh...I agree(Thomas Paine and John Locke). A Direct Democracy is a very scary thing....that goes back to Plato. Rousseau was the inspiration
"The first thing that struck me when reading from Common Sense was the similarity of Thomas Paine’s work to another author, Jean-Jacques Rousseau"

"Both Thomas Paine and Jean-Jacques Rousseau share a common ground between them when it comes to the topics of society, government, and freedom and equality amongst man, as Rousseau was one of the greatest influences on Paine"
