Description |
By Paul Foster. "The 18th Century was an age of elightenment and of revolution. No man embodied the power of ideas whose time had come than did Thomas Paine. It was he who translated the new concepts of inherent human rights and the need to question and, if necessary, destroy outdated institutions, such as hereditary right to rule, into words that stirred the hearts and minds of common men to action. His writings were key factors in both the American and French revolutions". |
