    Introduction: “The Social Contract” is a groundbreaking work in political philosophy, written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This treatise offers a profound exploration of the origins of society, the formation of the social contract, and the ideal organization of a government based on the general will. The book has had a lasting impact on political theory and continues to be relevant in contemporary discussions on governance and societal arrangement. Summary: “The Social Contract” begins with Rousseau’s argument that humans are inherently free and equal, possessing a natural right to live in accordance with their own will. However, he posits that the development of civilization and private property has led to a state of inequality and moral decay. To address this issue, Rousseau proposes the social contract as a means to establish a legitimate and just society.
