Rights of Man
''Rights of Man'' (1791), a book by Thomas Paine, including 31 articles, posits that popular political revolution is permissible when a government does not safeguard the natural rights of its people. Using these points as a base it defends the French Revolution against Edmund Burke's attack in ''Reflections on the Revolution in France'' (1790).
It was published in two parts in March 1791 and February 1792.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Taking Liberties - Star Items - Paine's ''Rights of Man'' )〕
==Background==
Paine was a very strong supporter of the French Revolution that began in 1789; he visited France in 1790. Meanwhile, conservative intellectual Edmund Burke's counter-revolutionary attack on the French Revolution, entitled ''Reflections on the Revolution in France'' (1790) strongly appealed to the landed class and sold 30,000 copies.〔Mark Philp, ‘Paine, Thomas (1737–1809)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2008 (accessed 4 July 2012 )〕 ''Rights of Man'' was printed by Joseph Johnson for publication on 21 February 1791, then withdrawn for fear of prosecution.〔 J. S. Jordan stepped in and published it on 16 March.〔 The 90,000-word book appeared on 13 March, three weeks later than scheduled. It sold as many as one million copies and was, "eagerly read by reformers, Protestant dissenters, democrats, London craftsman, and the skilled factory-hands of the new industrial north."〔George Rudé, ''Revolutionary Europe: 1783 – 1815'' (1964) p 183〕
