Force is a physical category, nothing moral or immoral about it, it"s a fact. Might is a moral category, there is good and bad, it"s normative. We give up our natural rights to form a state, in exchange for a general will (we are not enslaved) Difference between being owners of something, and proprietary right to it (a civil liberty, found only in a society) 3rd type of liberty (book1 chapter8) moral liberty self master and self determination. Not driven by natural impulses distinctions: general will, will of all, private will, partial associations general will: we need principles that everyone find binding. This leads to false consciousness by marx. We have sovereignty, we have civil liberty: two components: 1: 1) we are free, laws give us space. Once we have social contract then we have property: 2) gives ppl right to self-determine, collective self-government. Savage person is driven by appetite along means slavery.
