Focusing on the justification of political revolution, this book argues that when a government fails to protect the natural rights of its citizens, uprising is not only permissible but necessary. Paine defends the principles of the French Revolution, countering Edmund Burke's criticisms, and articulates a vision for democracy rooted in the rights of individuals. Through 31 articles, the work emphasizes the importance of popular sovereignty and the role of government in ensuring freedom and justice.
