“There is peace in dungeons, but is that enough to make dungeons desirable?”

― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract

“The Social Contract” by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is one of the most important works on political science: social norms and the legitimate authority of politics and law. Rousseau concludes a portion of this work with the quote “force does not create right, reminding the reader that being able to coerce someone does not legitimize power.

This work helped inspire and create political reforms in Europe, particularly France. Rousseau argued for democracy in lieu of a more oppressive aristocracy or monarchy.

This 1791 edition was published in Paris by Volland.
