"Only the general will can direct the powers of the state in accordance with the purpose for which it was established, which is the common good."
Censored in its own tune, The Social Contract (1762) remains a key source of democratic belief and is one of the classics of political theory. It argues, concisely but eloquently, that the basis of any legitimate society must be the agreement of its members. As human beings, we were `born free; and our subjection to government must be freely accepted.
Rousseau was always a radical thinker, and in a broad sense a revolutionary. He insisted on the sovereignty of the people, and his greatest contribution to political thought is the concept of the general will, which unites individuals through their common self-interest, validating the society in which they live and the constraints it imposes on them.
This edition includes the opening chapter of the manuscript version of, the Contract, together with the long article on Political Economy, a work transitional between the Contract and the Discourse on Inequality.
