expected. Although Paine makes a compelling argument it’s hard to look at this country today as a land where “the rights of man” exist? Is it a land where the rich aren’t privileged? He characterizes America as this great country that our government created "on the principles of society and the rights of man‚" it is able to overcome the differences‚ however‚ his description of America in 1791‚ does not hold true today.
