On The Social Contract is one of Jean Jacques Rousseau's works which has influenced politics & government throughout the world. On The Social Contract espouses Jean Jacques Rousseau's theory on free will & determinism by delving into what he viewed as the best way to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society. Originally published in 1762, the work helped to inspire political reforms and revolutions in Europe, especially in France.
