TORRES, João Carlos Brum. The general will is not represented, there is always a presumption of feudalism of liberalism. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.spe3, pp.69-89.  Epub 02-Sep-2019. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v23.dossie.4.

This paper is divided in three parts. The first presents the conceptual pr esuppositions of R ousseau’s thesis upon the irrepresentable character of general will. Based on what has happened already at the start of French Revolution, the second part shows that such thesis had no heirs. The third part presents the reasons allowing to sustain, in a priori terms, that all political power must be representative and insist in the way contemporaneous Constitutional State deals to control and to remedy the political inconveniences, imbalances and injuries which are inherent to the representative nature of political power.

Palabras clave : Rousseau; General Will; Political Pow er; Political Representantion.
