In this book, Paine says that revolution is acceptable when the government does not respect the natural rights and interests of its people. Man "deposits this right in the common stock of society, and takes the arm of society, of which he is a part, in preference and in addition to his own. Society grants him nothing. Every man is a proprietor in society, and draws on the capital as a matter of right."
