Focusing on the defense of the French Revolution, Thomas Paine's influential work argues that reason must underpin government authority. He asserts that civil liberties are inherent rights, not privileges bestowed by governments, and that any government failing to protect these rights is illegitimate and should be challenged. Paine advocates for representative government and social reforms to benefit the working class, making a compelling case for political revolution against oppressive regimes. This timeless treatise continues to inspire those who cherish democracy and personal freedom.
