Exploring the essential nature of freedom, this work delves into its role as both a fundamental human right and a prerequisite for personal fulfillment. Rousseau's "The Social Contract" examines how individuals can accept political authority while preserving their freedom, arguing that losing one's freedom equates to losing one's humanity.
