The paragraph on the influence of The Social Contract could be improved by expanding on both its positive and negative effects on the course of the French Revolution. The Terror as well as the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen have been traced back to Rousseau. Dactylion ( talk) 17:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Moved to The Social Contract. The is the name of the book as used in the notes within the article. Vegaswikian ( talk) 03:42, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Social Contract (Rousseau) → The Social Contract, Or Principles of Political Right — MoS conformation to article about a book. Alternatively, it should be moved to just The Social Contract. I note that all of the diasmbig pages/hatnotes to point to The Social Contract, Or Principles of Political Right rather than to Social Contract (Rousseau).

City states and nations.
"In light of all this, Rousseau argues that, like his native Geneva, small city-states are the form of nation in which freedom can best flourish"
There is a very large difference between a state and a nation. I'm not being pedantic about this either. The two concepts are completely different. Nations didnt truely exist till end of the 19th centuary, around 1870 etc. Please read Ernest Gellners Nations and Nationalism, Age of empire (Hobsbawn) et al. A better wording would be: "In light of all this, Rousseau argues that, like his native Geneva, small city-states would be easier to govern than states which cover larger geographical areas such as russia."

This section has bad writing.
I would like to see a link to Thomas Hobbes' included in here, as Jean Jacques Rousseau's argument of The Social Contract was directly against Thomas Hobbes' version. Yoccarachel95 ( talk) 22:24, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
