1. Rousseau says that "property is the most sacred of all the rights of citizenship." What do you think he means by this? Why might property be the most important right of a citizen? 2. Why does Rousseau say the people cannot govern themselves without rulers? 3. Do you think it is true that "every government constantly tends to become lax," meaning relaxed, inefficient, or lazy? Does your own attitude about the government match Rousseau's observations? 4. Interpret the following line: "And it may justly be said that a government has reached the last stage of corruption, when it has ceased to have sinews [strengths] other than money." What other government strengths might Rousseau be referring to? 5. Throughout the essay, Rousseau alludes to society's confidence — or lack thereof — in its ruling government.

8.1 Review Question: Free Response The powers, rights and authority, granted to the general government by this Constitution, are as complete, with respect to every object to which they extend, as that of any State government—it reaches to every thing which concerns human happiness—life, liberty, and property are under its control. There is the same reason, therefore, that the exercise of power, in this case, should be restrained within proper limits, as in that of the State governments. —Brutus No. 2 Use the quote and your knowledge of U.S. Government and Politics to answer parts A, B, and C. A. Describe the argument made in the quote. B. Describe two arguments made by proponents of the Constitution in response to the concerns raised in the quote. C. Describe one way in which the concerns raised in the quote were resolved during the ratification process.
