← All quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

2 quotes

Every law the people has not ratified in person is null and void - is, in fact, not a law.

The inflexibility of the laws, which prevents them from adapting themselves to circumstances, may, in certain cases, render them disastrous, and make them bring about, at a time of crisis, the ruin of the State.
