In "The Social Contract," Rousseau famously opens with the assertion that "Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains," setting the stage for a thought-provoking exploration of political philosophy. First published in 1762, the work challenges the notion of natural authority and advocates for a 'social contract' as the foundation of sovereign power among citizens. Rousseau delves into themes of liberty, law, freedom, and justice, offering perspectives that have sparked varied interpretations, from visions of totalitarianism to champions of democratic ideals.
