Another one of Jeans famous philosophy's was a thought that influenced Imanual Kants work on ethics.

Jean also wrote a book called Emily, The Social Contract, and much more.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau created the social contract which influenced the U.S Government. The social contract states that man is free in nature and is in need of protection by the government for its safety and security. He suggested that no legitimate government should exist without the general will of the people. This was because since the people relinquished equal rights making them the governed, it would only be right if they gave their consent to be governed. The social contract can be seen in the Deceleration of Independence that the founding fathers wrote.]]> 2020-09-10 15:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/witthd/96uzjw82fdyga813/wish/735507557 witthd https://padlet.com/witthd/96uzjw82fdyga813/wish/749379565 Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote a book called Emile which is an educational book about the nature of man.

Except for the fact that it would be right to give there consent, they should really not even be able to give up there consent. Reason is that it is already terrible that they would never do it. ]]> 2020-09-16 15:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/witthd/96uzjw82fdyga813/wish/752048768
