—— Rousseau's On the Origin of Human Inequality
2. As a regulation, law itself is less binding than desire. It can only restrict people but cannot change them.
-Rousseau's On the Origin of Human Inequality
3. In fact, before the establishment of the law, if a person wants to make another person equal to him obey him, there is no other way but to seize his property or give him part of his own property.
-Rousseau's On the Origin of Human Inequality
4. Once the law loses its power, everything will be desperate; As long as the law has no power, nothing legal will have no power.
-Rousseau's Theory of Social Contract
5. The power of legislation should always tend to maintain equality, because the power of things always tends to destroy equality.
-Rousseau's Theory of Social Contract
6. In fact, the law is always beneficial to the possessor, but not to the person who has nothing.
-Rousseau's Political Philosophy
7. Obeying the law: Neither I nor anyone can get rid of the glorious bondage of the law.
-Rousseau
8. The most important law among all laws is engraved in the hearts of citizens, neither on marble nor on copper watches.
-Rousseau
9. There is no freedom without law, and no one is above the law. There is no need to ask why people are both free and obey the law, because the law is only a record of our own will, and the law is only a condition for social integration. People who obey the law should be the creators of the law; Only those who make up the society can stipulate the social conditions.
-Rousseau
1. The reason why I say that the object of law is always universal is because the law considers the identical and abstract behavior of subjects, not the behavior of individuals and individuals. Therefore, the law can stipulate all kinds of privileges, but it can't give this privilege to anyone explicitly; The law can divide citizens into several grades, and even stipulate the qualifications and rights of each grade, but it cannot stipulate which grade an individual belongs to; Law can establish a dynastic government and a hereditary inheritance system, but it cannot choose a king and a royal family. In short, there is no function related to individual objects in legislative rights.
-Rousseau
