How my country runs? The Governance Framework.
Civic Activism – Becoming an empowered citizen.
A concept from his Second Treatise of Government (1689), where he describes a pre-political society where people live freely, equally, and governed by natural law. However, due to the lack of an impartial authority to resolve disputes, people form governments through a social contract to protect their rights to life, liberty, and property.
Describes the State of Nature as a chaotic and violent condition where life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” To escape this anarchy, people willingly surrender some of their freedoms to an absolute sovereign through a social contract, ensuring order, security, and a stable society.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Discourse on the Origin of Inequality (1755) argues that humans were once free and equal in a pure state of nature, but the rise of private property led to social inequality, competition, and corruption. He critiques civilization for creating artificial hierarchies and oppressing natural human freedom.
Any law, or any custom or usage having the force of law, in so far as it is inconsistent with the rights conferred by this chapter, shall, to the extent of such inconsistency, be void.
