Philosophy 4: Paper Two (Prompt #2) Rousseau believes that even when one votes in the minority they can obey the law and still be free. But, “how can the opposing minority be both free and subject to laws to which they have not consented?” (Rousseau, pg. 153) Rousseau’s response is that citizens must consent to all the laws because “ to inhabit the territory is to submit to the sovereign.”(Rousseau, p.153) In accordance with the social contract, when a citizen votes they should completely surrender their personal interest and vote for what they believe to be the general will. The general will of each individual is considered to be their real will when it comes to social policy. The majority vote will depict the general will, and the

The freedom of choice is humanity’s defining characteristic. Man possesses the ability to prioritize and manage, the capacity to consciously ignore or to focus, and the foresight to plan and shape its future.

St. Gregory VII was born in Sovana, Italy around 1020, and his original name was Hildebrand of Sovana. He received his education at a monastery in Rome; since one of his teachers was Pope Gregory VI, he followed the Pope to Cologne where he was exiled. After Gregory VI died, he entered the monastery at Cluny and became a Benedictine monk. Pope Leo IX named Hildebrand as the papal administrator and the treasurer of the Church. His commitment and ethic became distinguished among his peers. Hildebrand was elected pope several years later and took the name Gregory in honor of his former teacher (Catholic Online).

Francis Schaeffer (n.d.) believes that the Roman Empire collapsed because it’s governing style lacked core fundamental standards. The empires growth was based on winning battles, seizing a great portion of the adversary’s land, turning them into slave workers, and military personnel (Rawls, 2016, p. 163). Indisputably, Rome’s expansionism techniques, inhumane treatment to others, and disregard to humankind eventually led to its decline. Unfortunately, the governmental body and citizens were not unified in their moral or ethical cultural values. Rome became a chaotic, every man for themselves society which made it difficult for the State to control undesirable behavior.
