Rousseau claims that in order to have a successful democracy, the society would need to be small, with straightforward, modest citizens. In addition, Rousseau declares that there is no other government more exposed to civil strife than a democratic society by stating that “it may be added that there is no government so subject to civil wars and intestine agitations as democratic or popular government, because there is none which has so strong and continual a tendency to change to another form,…
