'No true Democracy has ever existed, nor ever will exist.'
Rousseau argues that a state's only moral, political authority comes from its people in "The Social Contract" selection.
This piece of literature, in no doubt, is essential for our history essay on human society, especially when we are talking about monarchy and democracy. I enjoy reading about historical text and reading about history; in general. I thought that this piece of wood was quite inspiring; Sometimes internally contradictory with superior regimes and the will of the people but a good and highly applicable read for the most part. The piece about how outlandish evil and immoral leaders will be elected is. While it is a slight pain right now, there is much to say about his logic around the common good versus personal interest. The best sign of a well-functioning government is involved and knowledgeable citizenship. However, I had to read a few passages from it at the end of the school. Sadly, they did not stick with me since I could remember them before reading this book. Nevertheless, I do think that if you are interested in history and politics, you should definitely if this book a try.
