"The Writings of Thomas Paine — Volume 2 (1779-1792): The Rights of Man" by Thomas Paine is a powerful response to criticisms of the French Revolution, where the author defends the idea that everyone is equal and free, while explaining why governments should change. Paine journeys to France, meets important revolution leaders and then fights against the idea of kings ruling by birthright, and instead argues we need liberty and democracy, pushing for a world where people have rights that can't be taken away. The book highlights the tension between old ways of monarchy and calls for equality, challenging people to rethink power and the need for revolutionary change.
