The Social Contract - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

A short summary of On the Social Contract:

Why we need a government.

"There will always be a great difference between subduing a multitude and ruling a society."

Can the people be negatively influenced by misinformation?

Is our first law truly self-preservation?

Important background philosophy about politics.

I am all about living together in peace.

I wish governments would live up to their philosophies.
