... man engaged to earn right for current state (6)
I believe the answer is:
france
'state' is the definition.
(France is an example)
'man engaged to earn right for current' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'rance' and 'rance' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'f' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for france that I've seen before include "European nation" , "Rouen's country" , "Anatole ---, Fr. novelist" , "[NAPOLEON] 's place" , "Can ref travel to a wine region here, say?" .)
