In Reflections on the French Revolution, Burke argues that whereas the American Revolution was an assertion of constitutional rights — and therefore justified — the French revolution was too extreme a deviance from pre-existing frameworks. His other works include A Vindication of Natural Society and Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents. Burke was one of Samuel Johnson's associates in founding the famous Literary Club. |
