Rights of Man (Aziloth Books)

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores Thomas Paine's pivotal role in advocating for republicanism and individual rights during tumultuous historical events, including the American Revolution and the French Revolution. It highlights his influential works, particularly "Common Sense" and "Rights of Man," where he critiques monarchy and promotes the idea of government based on popular consent. Paine's revolutionary ideas on small government and the absurdities of aristocratic privilege were considered radical in his time but have since gained acceptance in modern democratic thought.
