Answer:

According to Rousseau, the purpose of a government is to unite all people under General Will. He also thinks that laws and regulations should be a whole expression of a General Will and should be applied to all people and not just an individual based on the General Will.

General Will: A will held by the group that holds the goal to perform a common interest or a common cause for good.
