«El contrato social» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by M. E. in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Rousseau analyses how a pact between free and equal individuals can legitimise political power and give rise to civil society.

The book has influenced subsequent political thought.
