Rousseau & Rebellion

Rousseau says that the people should have only what they need and can take car of. He believes that if all available resources were scaled evenly that the people governed would become more united instead of living in comparison to one another. He says that the rulers should not oblige the people to adopt another's belief with condemnation. He says that by right the people are equals and getting rid of man-made social systems would allow people to adopt legitimate morals.

I say that I believe we are indeed equal by right and that our current social system allows judgement on others for not complying with certain ideals or ways of life. I say that if any Rousseau would agree more in having a democracy system as he believes that people should be able to follow their own beliefs but in goal of the greater good of the whole by majority ruling.



Machiavelli was only concerned about keeping power by means of manipulating the people and corruption which caused the rebellion against the King of Great Britain. The Declaration says that when the rights of the people are violated they have just cause to separate by rebellion to create a separate government that protects their rights..

I say that the means used to achieve Independence should of been more peaceful if that were even possible. I say that confidence is a matter of how well planned the rebellion was. A state built of violence can't condemn war in hope for peace. I say that Jefferson knew that even in worst case scenario he would have to do what it tool to achieve Independence. I say that Jefferson would have found the ways of Machiavelli inhumane and lickerish.
