An alert to the “the tocsin of reason” is followed by a marriage pact titled for this concept in the postscript of a work by Olympe de Gouges. A book named after this concept argues that an earlier philosopher unified “the two heads of the eagle,” but failed to recognize the incompatibility of Christianity and this concept. A theory named for this concept is used to distinguish between conjugal society and civil society and propose the role of a “neutral judge” in (*) Locke’s Second Treatise of Government. A text titled for this concept remarks that hot climates make despotism more probable. People have a right to revolution upon the violation of this concept that prevents self-interested people from embracing a disorderly “State of Nature” according to Hobbes. For 10 points, name this concept that titles a treatise by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. ■END■
