Among the critics of the revolution, Edmund Burke was the most renowned critic who vehemently and eloquently denounced the revolution and the rights of man in his Reflections on the Revolution in France. Burke's bitter opposition to the revolution electrified England and Thomas Paine wrote "The Rights of Man" in order to refute the ideas presented by Burke.

&nbsp.3. Though the Glorious Revolution ended monarchy and made the parliament in England supreme, yet the very first promise made by the parliament to William and Marry is an example of vassalage and subjectivity. Instead of declaring themselves free and liberal, the parliament "most humbly and faithfully submit themselves, their heirs and posterities, forever." This promise was the most absurd one for Thomas Paine as he believed that a living nation though can submit itself, how a future generation can be made subject to any monarchy without its consent. That is why. Paine very bitterly criticized the absurd promise made by the parliament.

&nbsp.4. The connection between both French and American revolutions is that of principles and the liberty of man. In fact, America won freedom from England only because of the spirit of liberty and the nation didn't want to follow taxation without their representation in the parliament. This successful revolution of Americans also paved the way for French revolution as France helped America in revolt against England. The success of American independence made French people think if Americans could achieve independence, why not they become independent from the tyranny of the King. Lafayette and Franklin had developed close relations during the war of independence and Lafayette bravely fought for American independence. After the war was over, Lafayette returned to France and also fought for the French revolution.

&nbsp.5. i). Burke bitterly opposed the French revolution and Paine was just astonished by the remarks of him as he believed Burke would appreciate the spirit of liberty of the French men. As Burke had fought for the American independence, Paine believed him also side with the French revolution, but when Burke's pamphlet appeared denouncing the revolution, Paine could not help but retaliate with equal force and criticized severely Burke's ideology about rights of man.

&nbsp.ii). Mr. Burke fails to analyze, says Paine, the lives wretched poor Frenchmen confined in prisons and dying without any hope.

&nbsp.6. According to Thomas Paine, the natural rights of man have based unity of man, i.e. all men are deriving their existence from God and God made all men equal. That is why all men have the same right and are equal before the divine.

&nbsp.7. At pages 66 and 67 Paine argues that all men are born with equal rights because they were created by the same Creator and their origin is the same. Thus, if the origin of every man is the same biologically, they should have the same rights. From this argument, we learn that Paine stresses more on the unity of man as the traces of antiquity go as far as their initial creation is concerned.
