D. Marquis de Condorcet • War and prejudice will disappear when people
learn to use reason.
E. Jean Jacques Rousseau
People originally lived without government.
People form a social contract when they join to-
gether for protection of themselves and their
property.
1. "The time will come... when we shall
learn how to recognize and so to destroy, by force
of reason, the first seeds of tyranny and supersti-
tion."
2. "Experience shows us that every man in-
vested with power is apt to abuse it... to prevent
this abuse, it is necessary... that power should be
a check to power."
3. "The heart of the idea of the social con-
tract may be stated simply: Each of us places his
person and authority under the supreme direction
of the general will (of society) and the group re-
ceives each individual as an indivisible part of the
whole."
.
4. "By what right could a being, created free,
force another to think like himself?... tolerance has
never brought civil war; intolerance has covered the
earth with carnage."
