The type of government Rousseau would have wanted is unbelievable. I believe this because he thinks government is corrupt. He says that naturally men are good and the laws and things make men bad. We were corrupted by the acts of civilization. If we lived by nature we would be independent and there would be less crime. Rousseau believed in complete power of nature and nothing else. He wanted compassion on everyone and that everyone be treated equal. The government of the type he would want exists in our times. Everyone is evil because of the laws.

The end of independence does mean rebellion and terrible acts. End of independence would be breaking the people apart. Independence is what we have in America and yes without it there would be many deaths and we would have limited freedoms. If we as a country wasn't independent someone else would be a ruler of the country, we would be connected with somewhere else. I don't think Jefferson thought of it this way,he thought of it as a way to solve the problems we had. Machiavelli's advice was bad and would have caused more problems than anything. He was cunning. Machiavelli's way of thinking would have been bad for the United States.
