Book review of social contract theory
Social Contract is a political philosophy work, which discusses the principle of political rights and the operation of the government, with the main purpose of laying a theoretical foundation for the establishment of people's democratic sovereignty. Its appearance is the need of the times, the product of mankind and the progress of human society, and it correctly answers the question of where the French ship of destiny is heading.

The author of The Theory of Social Contract is Jean-Jean-jean-jacques rousseau.

Jean-Jean-jean-jacques rousseau was born in Geneva, his father Isaac Rousseau was a watchmaker, and his mother Susan Rousseau, whose real name was Susan Bernard, was born in a priest's family. His mother died shortly after he was born, and Rousseau was raised by his menstruation.

Jean-Jean-Jacques Rousseau's representative works include On the Origin and Foundation of Human Inequality, On Social Contract, Emile, Confessions, New Love for Lois, and Plant Communication.
