Rousseau wrote "social contract" in 1762. He believed that people are not social beings by nature. Primitive people had no reason to hurt each other, but civilization brought out these evils (aggression and egotism). He thought society should be organized into agricultural communities where everyone is controlled. He also outlined a plan for a democracy in which all people would participate and be involved reducing special interest groups.
