Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778 CE) was a Genevan philosopher during the French Revolution. The ideas he promoted were democracy and personal freedom under the law.
I take it you too are taking POS 222. But no, Rousseau wasn't the person who wrote about the natural rights of man. It was John Locke.
In the book 'The Priority of Right and Ideas of the Good' Rawls argues that a second principle of equality would be agreed upon to guarantee liberty. He basically talks about equality and liberty.
He got many of his ideas by visiting 'Jardin des plantes' in Paris, which is a combined botanical and zoological garden.
His doctrine of popular sovereignty has affect on the French. His ideas also have the effect on socialists thoughts.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote about life, liberty, and property as important themes in his works because he believed that individuals have natural rights and freedoms that should be protected. He argued that these rights are essential for individuals to live a fulfilling and autonomous life, free from oppressive systems of government. Rousseau's writings on these topics were influential in shaping modern ideas about individual rights and freedoms.
Rousseau
His three main ideas were: Life, Liberty, and the Right to Own Property. They later encouraged Americans to revolt. The framers of the Constitution used those three ideas (changed the Right to Own Property into the Pursuit of Happiness) as principles of a just government.
