Jean Jacques Rousseau is considered to be one of the great thinkers of the 18th century. He found fame because of his talent and philosophical thoughts on many topics.
On the topic of war, Rousseau believed that in order for humans to be in a state of war, their thoughts would have to be complex relative to ideas on property, ideas about their future, and the identification of other humans as being threatening.
He also felt that the individual who has most to lose is the one who would serve to organize other individuals to halp protect his resources.
Of government he determined that government and state was the intended to be a unified whole of the population.
To maintain a happy population and balance the state must:
-follow the general will of the public
-ensure the general will agrees with the whole of the population
-public needs must be satisfied
