Jean-Jacques Rousseau (jan 1, 1712 – jan 1, 1778)

Description:

In his time, Rousseau had created a book titled "The Social Contract", in which the ideal government decisions are made, or rather, the government upholds the will of the majority of the people, otherwise known as majority rules. Rousseau had another belief that "Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains". Rousseau thought that society corrupted people, and therefore came up with Noble Savage. Noble Savage is man being better alone in nature, using the natives as an example before the europeans came.
