Answer:
Rousseau believes that the optimal number of states should be 10,000.
Explanation:
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was born in Geneva, Switzerland, where adult male residents had the right to vote for a representative government. Rousseau educated himself by travelling across France and Italy.
He won an essay prize in 1751. His novel perspective that man was born decent but perverted by society earned him a star in the French salons where artists, scientists, and authors convened to discuss the latest ideas.
A few years later, he wrote another article in which he depicted savages in their natural state as being free, equal, peaceful, and joyful. Inequality, murder, and war, according to Rousseau, stemmed from people claiming ownership of property.
According to Rousseau, the very affluent took everyone's land and duped the common people into embracing them as rulers. Rousseau decided that the social compact was not a consensual agreement, as Hobbes, Locke, and Montesquieu had claimed, but rather a hoax perpetrated by the affluent upon the masses.
