The Social Contract, or Principles of Political Right Quotes

Every man being born free and master of himself, no one can, under any pretext whatever, enslave him without his assent. - Jean-Jacques Rousseau (The Social Contract, or Principles of Political Right Quotes)

Every man being born free and master of himself, no one can, under any pretext whatever, enslave him without his assent.[Tout homme étant né libre et maître de lui-même, nul ne peut, sous quelque prétexte que ce puisse être, l’assujettir sans son aveu.]
