The Rights of Man (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163314722)

The Rights of Man is a political treatise written by Thomas Paine in 1791, which argues for the necessity of revolution and the principles of democracy. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part examining the origins of government and the concept of natural rights, while the second part focuses on the failures of the British monarchy and the need for a republican government. Paine's arguments in favor of democracy and individual freedoms were highly influential during the American and French Revolutions, and the book remains a classic work of political philosophy today. The Rights of Man is a passionate call to action for those who believe in the power of the people to shape their own destiny and create a more just and equitable society.1906.
