Du Contrat Social, ou Principes du droit politique (1762), commonly known in English as The Social Contract, is a seminal work of political philosophy by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In this treatise, Rousseau theorizes about the best way to establish a political community in the face of the commercialization of society. Rousseau argues against the idea that rulers have a divine right to legislate; only the people, understood as a collectivity, have that right.
