Their collected thoughts has had strong influence on building the foundation of the United States and its endeavor of open society.

In 1762, Rousseau completed Social Contract his best and most important of all his writings. He was to explore if there was a legitimate political authority due to that people at his time were put in a state far worse than the state of nature. Rousseau theorized the best social model in the book to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society.

that only the people had all powerful right.

The book strongly influenced the formulation of many conceptual elements in Rousseau's Social Contract.
