Yhteiskuntasopimuksesta, eli, Valtio-oikeuden johtavat aatteet by Rousseau
"Yhteiskuntasopimuksesta, eli, Valtio-oikeuden johtavat aatteet" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a philosophical work published in 1762. It explores how to establish legitimate political authority that preserves individual freedom. Rousseau argues that only the people's collective will has the right to create laws, rejecting the divine right of monarchs. He proposes a social contract where citizens govern themselves through general laws applying equally to all, challenging conventional ideas about democracy, aristocracy, and monarchy. (This
