Book Review on Social Contract

This book gives a clear and legitimate introduction to Western regime norms. The clarity of logical thinking is admirable.

Human beings are born free, but they are always in chains. Human beings seem to be the masters of things, but they must follow the social order in vain. Because this is the theory of social contract. Family is a small society, when everyone in the family can be independent, the family has not been dissolved because of some kind of agreement. And the same is true of society, if so many people want to live together, and everyone has to safeguard their own interests, in order to reduce conflicts, this requires an agreement,  this agreement cause a collective and the biggest is the state. There is only agreement, it can not be peaceful,either .The public will is the will of most people, and a small number of individuals will not be in groups. From this came the law.Everyone must observe thelaws.One has his own rights but not everyone can implement it, so there is a government. Unlike the parents in the family, some of the ruling people are interested in ruling. Everything is explained so reasonably. In ordinary life, we also abide by this invisible agreement!
