Thomas Paine's Rights of Man (1791) is a two-part political treatise defending the French Revolution against Edmund Burke's criticisms and advocating for natural rights, popular sovereignty, and social justice. Paine argues that governments must respect the inherent rights of all citizens, challenging the concept of hereditary rule and promoting the idea that each generation has the right to self-governance. The book became a sensation, breaking publishing records and solidifying Paine's reputation as a champion of liberty.
