In this desired social contract, everyone will be free because they all forfeit the same number of rights and impose the same duties on all. Jean-Jacques Rousseau argues that it is absurd for a man to surrender his freedom for slavery; thus, the participants must have a right to choose the laws under which they live.</p><p><em>The Social Contract</em> helped inspire political reforms or revolutions in Europe, especially in France. <em>The Social Contract </em>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. Rousseau argues that small city-states are the form of nation in which freedom can best flourish.</p><p>This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.</p>
