Man is born free, and just about everywhere he is in stores. In The Social Agreement, Rousseau explores the idea of liberty and the political structures that could enable visitors to acquire it. He argues that the sovereign ability of a state lies not in virtually any one ruler but in the will of the overall society. Rousseau argues that the ideal state would be a direct democracy where professional decision making is carried out by people who meet in assemblage, as they might in the historic city-state of Athens. The thoughts contained in the work were instrumental to the introduction of the American Revolution and became sacred to people leading the France Revolution. With traces of Aristotle and echoes of Plato's Republic, The Social Contract is an exhilarating take a look at society and this is of democracy. New translation by Ian Johnston.
