Answer:

Thomas Paine was a severe critic of the English Constitution. Three components that needed revision, according to him, were:

One, the continuation of the monarchy is the continuation of a tyrannical government; Paines advocate the natural rights of man, all men are born equal and there are no natural rulers. Two, the Peers are a tyrannical, aristocratic institution. Three, for him, there was no real separation of powers in Britain, no real checks and balances.
