Thomas Paine Timed Writing Thomas Paine claims‚ in “Rights of Man”‚ that America is an unexpected union of different people‚ religions‚ and cultures. The essence of Paine’s argument is that America is a land where people of all cultures and races can live together under one government and one Constiution.
