Common Sense, subtitled "A new constitution for Britain" is a book written by the British Labour politician Tony Benn and the journalist Andrew Hood. ==Cause== The book was written after the first reading in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Benn's Commonwealth of Britain Bill in 1991. It includes the full text of the bill as an appendix. The main content of the book discusses the reasoning behind the Bill. Benn published an article summarizing the book's contents in the 2000 book ''The rape of the constitution?'' The Bill proposed establishing the United Kingdom as a secular state and thus disestablishing the Church of England, removing the British Crown as a party of government, but continuing government with democratically elected members from constituencies, each seat electing a male and a female. Various other reforms were proposed along liberal lines, such as a single age of consent, abolition of blasphemy laws, and equal rights in law for homosexuals. The introduction of the Bill was intended more for public discussion than with any real hope that it would become law.
