Question

Which statement BEST describes Rousseau’s view of the relationship between governments and the rights of the people?

Answer 1

Answer:

B) When governments are created with the consent of the people, the people are more likely to retain their natural rights.

Explanation:

Jean Jacques Rousseau is best known for his work A Conversation on the Arts and Sciences, which was published in the 18th century. The Social Contract contains the most famous words he ever wrote: "Men are born free, but they are chained everywhere." From this intriguing start, Rousseau goes on to explain the various ways in which civil society's chains thwart man's natural birthright to natural freedom.
