Publication date 1762 The Social Contract, originally published as On the Social Contract, or Principles of Political Law (: Du contrat social; ou Principes du droit politique) by, is a 1762 book in which Rousseau theorized about the best way to establish a political in the face of the problems of commercial society, which he had already identified in his (1754). The Social Contract helped inspire political reforms or revolutions in Europe, especially in France. The Social Contract argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate. Rousseau asserts that only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right. Title page of a pirated edition of the Social Contract, probably printed in Germany. The of the work is 'foederis aequas / Dicamus leges' (, XI.321–22).
The stated aim of The Social Contract is to determine whether there can be a legitimate political authority, since people's interactions he saw at his time seemed to put them in a state far worse than the good one they were at in the, even though living in isolation. He concludes book one, chapter three with, 'Let us then admit that force does not create right, and that we are obliged to obey only legitimate powers', which is to say, the ability to coerce is not a legitimate power, and there is no rightful duty to submit to it. A has no right to enslave a conquered people. In this desired, everyone will be free because they all forfeit the same amount of rights and impose the same duties on all. Rousseau argues that it is absurd for a man to surrender his freedom for; thus, the participants must have a right to choose the laws under which they live. Although the contract imposes new laws, including those safeguarding and regulating, there are restrictions on how that property can be legitimately claimed.
His example with land includes three conditions; that the land be uninhabited, that the owner claims only what is needed for subsistence, and that labor and cultivation give the possession legitimacy. Rousseau posits that the political aspects of a society should be divided into two parts. First, there must be a consisting of the whole population, women included, that represents the and is the legislative power within the state. The second division is that of the, being distinct from the sovereign. This division is necessary because the sovereign cannot deal with particular matters like applications of the law.
Doing so would undermine its generality, and therefore damage its legitimacy. Thus, government must remain a separate institution from the sovereign body. When the government exceeds the boundaries set in place by the people, it is the mission of the people to abolish such government, and begin anew. Rousseau claims that the size of the territory to be governed often decides the nature of the government. Since a government is only as strong as the people, and this strength is absolute, the larger the territory, the more strength the government must be able to exert over the populace. In his view, a monarchical government is able to wield the most power over the people since it has to devote less power to itself, while a democracy the least.
In general, the larger the, the more power required for government discipline. Normally, this relationship requires the state to be an. When Rousseau uses the word democracy, he refers to a rather than a. In light of the relation between population size and governmental structure, Rousseau argues that, like his native, small are the form of nation in which freedom can best flourish. For states of this size, an elected aristocracy is preferable, and in very large states a benevolent monarch; but even monarchical rule, to be legitimate, must be subordinate to the sovereign rule of law. Quotes One of the most famous quotes from The Social Contract is: 'Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains.' This quote, which opens the work, refers to how modern governments have overly restricted individual freedom rather than allowing it to exist.
