Philosophy - Philosophy of the 17th and 18th Centuries

In my essay, I will first examine what Rousseau means by state of nature and giving some details with examples, then I will be talking about forcing to be free. In this essay, my defending argument is that we cannot talk about forcing to be free because there is no force behind the freedom and there is no freedom with the force.
