'Man was born free, and everywhere he is in chains.' These are the
famous opening words of a treatise that has stirred vigorous debate
ever since its first publication in 1762. 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.
