Rousseau would agree to breach the social contract if that was necessary to lessen social inequality in Iceland.
<h3>What is the social contract?</h3>
- It is a system that sets norms in society.
- It is a system that prevents humans from living in their natural state.
Social contact states that the State must establish rules that must be followed by all human beings to guarantee their protection. That's because, without the social contract, humans would live in a natural state, where they would have full freedom to everything, but would be prone to barbarism and disorder.
Rousseau understood the social contract differently. He defended humans in the natural state, but with the imposition of rules that prevented inequalities between them. Thus, for him, the social contract should interfere with private property and the unequal distribution of goods, allowing strong social equality, otherwise, it should not be followed.
So he would agree with Icelandic society if they disobey the social contract in pursuit of social equality because the contract fails to establish that.
