Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and law, freedom and justice, arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated by Quintin Hoare\u003cbr\u003e\nWith a new introduction by Christopher Bertram\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141191751\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.1 x 1.1 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, French\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66562742092080,"sku":"Trans_9780141191751","price":382.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/916CkoonexL.jpg?v=1776482600","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/of-the-social-contract-and-other-political-writings","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
