Answer 2

What do you think?

Answer 3

I think it might be the last one

Answer 4

Or the second one

Answer 5

I think it is the last one too. Because he believed that the authority should be in the hands of the people.

Answer 6

I'm stuck in between the second and the last one and I really can't decided which one to choose.

Answer 7

I'm drawn to the last one, but I also think it could be the second one

Answer 8

Well, he believed in the theory of the "noble savage". but I think he generally thought the human nature to be corrupt.

"Rousseau claimed that the state of nature was a primitive condition without law or morality, which human beings left for the benefits and necessity of cooperation. As society developed, division of labor and private property required the human race to adopt institutions of law. In the degenerate phase of society, man is prone to be in frequent competition with his fellow men while also becoming increasingly dependent on them. This double pressure threatens both his survival and his freedom."
