A review by jonathanlibrarian
Of the Social Contract and Other Political Writings by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

3.0

Citizens must choose freedom over comfort, engaging in public assembly. If this is true, what has become of most modern states? Interesting look at the justification of a social state through social contract. We are forced to be free in more ways than one. Not a fan of is advocacy of aristocracy, temporary dictatorships to save a state, totalitarian civil worship of state and role in it, and general religious aim. Overall, worth the read.
