Rights of Man

Více o knize

Focusing on the justification for political revolution, this work argues that citizens have the right to overthrow a government that fails to protect their natural rights. It serves as a robust defense of the French Revolution, countering Edmund Burke's criticisms presented in his earlier work. Through 31 articles, Paine articulates the principles of democracy and individual rights, advocating for the necessity of revolution in the pursuit of justice and liberty.
