Summary

J.J. Rousseau, responsible for drawing up the Constitution projects geared to reestablishing sovereignty and guaranteeing freedom in Corsica and Poland, after freeing themselves from foreign occupation, based his constituting proposal on the preservation of the identity of the societies involved. For Rousseau, democracy and respect for specific cultures were indivisible, and needed to be taken into account on designing the institutions.
