For example Paine says,“simple operation of constructing government on the principles of society and the rights of man.” This statement is false because it is not a simple operation in constructing the government because it is not simple. Every American has his own opinions and views on how the government should be ran and the rights of man and principles of society are not equal.

This a huge example of how women are treated poorly than men. Another example of this is equal pay. Women are not being paid as much as men. The woman get paid $5,148 less than men.
