Rousseau and European Political Thought
If then we set aside what is not of the essence of the social contract, we shall find that it is reducible to the following terms: Each of us puts in common his person and his whole power under the supreme direction of the general will, and in return we receive every member as an indivisible part of the whole.HTMLBREAKThese assemblies, which have as their object the maintenance of the social treaty, ought always to be opened with two propositions, which no one should be able to suppress, and which should pass separately by vote. The first: Whether it pleases the sovereign to maintain the present form of government. The second: Whether it pleases the people to leave the administration to those at present entrusted with it.
Which of the following best describes an immediate political impact in Europe of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s “The Social Contract”?
A
Initiated widespread agricultural economic reforms across the continent
B
Prompted the quick elimination of monarchy systems within years of its release
C
Led to the immediate establishment of totalitarian governments throughout Europe
D
Stimulated discussions on the principles of democracy and individual freedoms
