About this book
Paine published this in two parts, in 1791 and 1792, as a direct answer to Edmund Burke's attack on the French Revolution. Against Burke's reverence for tradition and inherited authority, Paine argues that government exists only to secure the natural rights of the living, and that no generation can bind those who come after it. He defends a people's right to overthrow a government that fails them, ridicules hereditary monarchy and aristocracy, and sketches practical reforms, including public relief for the poor, pensions, and schooling funded by progressive taxation. The book sold in the hundreds of thousands and got Paine tried in absentia for seditious libel in England. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available here.
