In 'Idea of the Method in the Composition of a Book,' Rousseau once suggested that philosophers should look to Greek tragedy for models of how to deploy the various antagonistic and protagonistic positions that go to make up the narrative of a factual argument (Rousseau 1997).

For example, the liberal principle of popular sovereignty means that the consent of the people is the source of political authority (Rousseau 1997;Charvet 2009). 11 Kant's peaceful republic constitutes individual freedoms (liberalism), the rule of law and legal equality (constitutionalism), and representative government domestically (democracy), and taken together, they inform the liberal assumptions of international peace (Danilovic and Clare 2007). ...

"Find a form of association which will defend and protect, with the whole of its joint strength, the person and property of each associate, and under which each of them, uniting himself to all, will obey himself alone, and remain as free as before" (Rousseau 1994).
