2. According Rousseau, what is one<br> advantage of the social contract?
Rudiy27

One advantage of the social contract is that the people will agree to rules, impulses, and even the morals that they have in their society and in the government. He is known for the phrase "man must be forced to be free."

Explanation:

The men who are credited with the social contract theory are John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Thomas Hobbes. Each man had their own idea of how the social contract would work. However, each of the ideas was similar in nature.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau's social contract was more directed towards the political rights of people. Such as;

  • unlimited popular sovereignty
  • people did not know their own "real" will
  • society could not begin until a real leader changed the values through religion.

He wrote "The Social Contract"  in the year 1762. He was the first Frenchman to use the social contract and believed the English were the freest society in those times but did not approve of their government.
