4 questions - Thomas Paine

1. When is revolution appropriate in a nation?
2. Do you think the French Revolution differed from the American Revolution, and in what ways?
3. How are your books The Rights of Man and Common Sense similar and different?
4. Have there been any recent "revolutions" in the 21st century? Why do or don't you consider these revolutions?

Questions for the Marquis de Condorcet

Why do you think the abolition of slavery is needed?

Do you believe all people are equal? Should everyone be exactly the same?

What do you think is the best approach to governing? Why?

Do you think the world as a whole has improved since the 18th century? Have any of your ideas been changed by seeing how they are implemented in the future?
