Article Rousseau’s illiberal constitutionalism: Austerity, domination, and the circumstances of politics
Eoin Daly
Daly discusses Rousseau’s discussion of Poland and Corsica as entrenched within a tradition of illiberal constitutionalism, which reveals dynamics of freedom and domination within the application of his theoretical political writings.
Journal Article Nationalism, Virtue, and the Spirit of Liberty in Rousseau's Government of Poland
Jeffrey A. Smith
Smith discusses Rousseau’s commissioned work for the government of Poland, with emphasis on the nature of liberty under the threat posed by Russian imperialism.
Book The Works of John Locke, vol. 4 Economic Writings and Two Treatises of Government
This work explores the concept of the state of nature and the origins of government, which aligns with Rousseau’s ruminations in the Social Contract.
Book Complete Works, vol. 1 The Spirit of Laws
Montesquieu discusses small size as an important factor in the success of states, which is akin to Rousseau’s suggestion of Voivodeship to Poland’s government.
