Rights of Man (1787), by Thomas Paine, posits that
popular political revolution is permissible when a government does not safeguard
its people, their natural rights, and their national interests. It defends the
French Revolution against Edmund Burke's anti-democratic attack upon popular
government in Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790).
