Section 10, Group 3

Assuming the responsibility of creating a post for others to put their FQ/DQ/Links/Discussion since we had class canceled last Thursday so our Professor could attend a lecture by Peter Lawler on bioethics. 

If anybody else from Section 10 needs a place to drop their homework, feel free to do so here.

    (because I've always enjoyed learning about Rousseau. Possibly my favorite enlightened philosophe of his era ((and, yeah, a philosophe is a actually a thing)) )

    FQ: Whatever is best for the whole community,
    the whole state is called _______________.

    DQ: Did you vote in the election? Why or why not?

    Link: From Déclaration des droits de l'Homme et du citoyen (Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen) from the French Revolution.

    The law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to contribute personally, or through their representatives, to its formation. It must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes. All citizens, being equal in its eyes, are equally admissible to all public dignities, positions, and employments, according to their capacities, and without any other distinction than that of their virtues and their talents.


    While the principle of the General will is a worthy one, I think that you need to guard against what is called "tyranny of the majority" when applying it exactly. Our system of Constitutional checks and balances seems to do well enough, but it does have it's limitations and is of course only as effective as its enforcement.

    As a lifelong holder of the minority opinion, I'm thankful that we only have a limited implementation of the General will in our political system. Lest my frequent $0.02 be worthy of condemnation from the pitchfork mob.
