The Rights of Man

The Rights of Man is a political treatise written by Thomas Paine, first published in 1791. The book argues for the natural rights of humans, including freedom of speech, religion, and assembly, as well as the right to a fair trial and the right to property. Paine's work was written in response to the French Revolution and the debates surrounding the role of government in protecting the rights of citizens. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which critiques the British monarchy and the second of which outlines Paine's vision for a democratic government. The Rights of Man was widely read and influential in its time, and it continues to be regarded as a foundational text in the history of political thought.1906.
