By comparing the confusion of Rockaw and Rousseau in the 1600s with the desire for a more equitable form of government, the foundation of a new idea of sovereignty was established. Locke wrote a number of influential political articles, including "Second Government Paper", including proposals from government legislative bodies elected by citizens. Rousseau supports the direct democratic form that people dominate sovereignty. (How do people rule sovereignty?) Sovereignty is the supremacy or authority of control.
Comparing Locke and Rousseau's educational work, not only is the explanation on children's natural condition and educational method different, there are also different focuses on the final result. In this section we compare the views of the two philosophers on several topics. The natural tendency of children, the role of parents, the proposed educational method, and the responsibilities of people who received education in society. The main difference between Locke and Rousseau lies in the concept of cultivation and nature, and the role of gentlemen in political relations. Understanding of natural trends by TLocke is not completely optimistic. Parents should take care of their curiosity and love of freedom and should respond to them, but they must educate their children to suppress their natural desire for domination. Locke's educational approach takes into account these natural talents, likes and dislikes. TLocke also understands the natural desire that children are treated rationally.
