Similar to the Republic, Rousseaus masterwork is better known today for its authors idiosyncratic view of political justice than its lessons on lawmaking or governance in any concrete sense. Challenging this common view, Rousseau, Law and the Sovereignty of the People examines the Genevans contributions as a legislator and builder of institutions, relating his major ideas to issues and debates in twenty-first century political science. Ethan Putterman explores how Rousseaus just state would actually operate, investigating how laws would be drafted, ratified and executed, arguing that the theory of the Social Contract is more pragmatic and populist than many scholars assume today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944711127328,"sku":"NEW0521765382","price":172.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/rousseau-law-and-the-sovereignty-of-the-people-0521765382","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
