11 -------------------------------------------------------------------- People : ---------------------------------- Author : Jean Jacques Rousseau : The Social Contract, or the Principles of Right Text : ---------------------------------- The best kings desire to be in a position to be wicked, if they please, without forfeiting their mastery: political sermonizers may tell them to their hearts' content that, the people's strength being their own, their first interest is that the people should be prosperous, numerous and formidable; they are well aware that this is untrue. Their first personal interest is that the people should be weak, wretched, and unable to resist them. From : Book 3, Chapter 6.
