I am Rousseau (T. Burnett-Testa) and I am a Genevan philosopher, writer and composer. I was born on June 28th, 1712 in Geneva, Switzerland.  I believe that liberty is at the roots of humanity and therefore all humans should have the right to liberty. Because we are all free and equal by nature, we should all be free and equal by law. Humans could act as animals, but we are self-sufficient. I believe that in nature, mankind is not completely free even though we are endowed with natural freedom. We must submit ourselves to the laws and norms to be free. I believe that each individual has the right to political participation on an equal floor with all other citizens. Even though we could act as an awful and selfish species as mankind, humanity is generally good and equal as individuals with one another so we do deserve certain equal rights that we were born with.
