Rousseau’s "The Social Contract" as it Applies to Slavery
[ send me this paper ]
16 pages in length. "The Social Contract", on the text that all men are born free and equal, regards the State as a contract in which individuals surrender none of their natural rights, but rather agree for the protection of them. Most remarkable in this projected republic was the provision to banish aliens to the state religion and to punish dissenters with death. The Social Contract became the textbook of the French Revolution, and Rousseau's theories as protests bore fruit in the frenzied bloody orgies of the Commune as well as in the rejuvenation of France and the history of the entire Western world.

The Russian Revolution of 1917
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the events of 1917 and the Russian Revolution. Russia suffered serious reverses in World War I at the hands of the Germans and Austrians. The country had become a backward country with a miserable peasantry on the verge of starvation, a thin veneer of
European civilization, and a seemingly unbridgeable gap between the privileged and the unprivileged. The Russian people turned to the Bolsheviks, almost by default, to implement the popular revolutionary program. Lenin and the Bolsheviks eventually implemented their own version of revolution instead. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

John Reed’s “Ten Days that Shook the World”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses John Reed’s 1934 account of the Bolsheviks and the
Russian Revolution of 1917. Reed was an unapologetic communist
before communism became demonized. His book and Reed himself,
have inspired a great deal of controversy. Through Reed’s
commentary, it is possible to understand many of the objectives
and fundamental goals of the revolutionary leaders and that the
larger intention of the Russian Revolution was not at all evil
but was based on the most basic of premises -- equality. No
doubt, readers would see the corrupt sides of the Revolution if
Reed’s book had gone further than the October Revolution.
Bibliography lists one source.
