Freedom can lead to liberty, or it can descend into chaos.
Rousseau's The Social Contract, Paine's Common Sense, and Burke's
Reflections on the Revolution in France encompass the ideas,
progress, and results of reform and revolutionary change. Rousseau
reasoned that people are born free and act as a collective
sovereign - owing both freedom and duty under the auspices of the
general will, embodied in government. Paine wrote Common Sense in
the seminal year of 1775. Using a reasoned and accessible style, he
brought forth numerous arguments to demonstrate the logic of
launching an American Revolution. Burke's Reflections, while
specifically aimed at the French Revolution, demonstrate the
superiority of practical solutions over abstract concepts. Each of
these works prominently displays the importance of changes leading
to freedom. These works demarcate a firm delineation between
constructive and destructive change and how it affects human
freedom.
