Brand New (Still Wrapped in original Plastic). A reflection on and endorsement of the French Revolution, Thomas Paine's Rights of Man advances the theory of the inherency of human rights that cannot be conferred or revoked by governments, and examines the circumstances within which revolution against governments would be acceptable within the context of human rights. As a result of his groundbreaking opinions, Thomas Paine was tried and convicted of seditious libel against the Crown of England, but escaped a sentence of death because he was residing in France at the time.
