Abstract

There is no state without subjects. For Rousseau state-building requires the direct participation of citizens. The active participation of citizens will result in the expression of the general will. It is the general will that via social pact, give life and unity to the state. The state is a political body design. The active participation of citizens in order to prevent corruption and dissolution of the company refers to the conception of popular sovereignty. In this mode of sovereignty, citizens would be able to build and maintain the foundations of civil society. Rousseau, as a contractualist, thinks his time and political solutions to the real problems of his time. So it is this scenario between theory and practice, which Rousseau will start to set up the distinction and the relationship of this important tripod: Sovereign, Legislator and Prince.

Summary

Adriano Medeiros Eurípedes Martins*

Resumo: Não há Estado sem os indivíduos. Para Rousseau a construção do Estado requer a participação direta dos cidadãos. A participação ativa dos cidadãos resultará na expressão da vontade geral. É a vontade geral que, via pacto social, dará vida e união ao Estado. O Estado é um projeto de corpo político. A participação ativa dos cidadãos com vistas a impedir a corrupção e a dissolução da sociedade remete à concepção da soberania popular. Os cidadãos seriam capazes de construir e manter os fundamentos da sociedade civil. Como um contratualista, pensa a sua época e as soluções políticas para os problemas reais de seu tempo. É desse cenário entre a teoria e a prática, que Rousseau partirá para configurar a distinção e a relação desse importante tripé: soberano, Legislador e príncipe.
