In this essay, Rousseau explores the nature of civil power and the legitimacy of laws, proposing a society based on a social contract where justice and utility are balanced. This edition includes a prologue by Manuel Tuñón de Lara and the translation by Fernando de los Ríos, offering a critical perspective on the conception of democracy and its incorporation into constitutionalism.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, philosophe, writer, and composer. His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Age of Enlightenment throughout Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic, and educational thought.
