Resumo
To the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the assemblies are an important institute
available to the people and perform the fundamental attribution of giving movement to the
State, that is, making it work. Considering that, firstly and briefly, we'll focus on the civil
society's formation and on the principles that establish the republican State by the
philosopher's vision. Afterwards, we'll evaluate the assembly's own acts, since the appropriate
structuring of the meetings to how they fulfill the designated role of maintenance of
republican order. We'll look for arguments related to this act on the philosopher's main
political works, especially in The Social Contract, a document that presents the direct
relationship between the State's organization and the assemblies, so that we can define its
main characteristics and models presented by the Genevan. All this framework regarding the
assemblies will contribute to the functioning of the republican State, as it'll be demonstrated.
Rousseau proposes a new wave to political thinking in the eighteenth century, allocating to
the people the central role of State's businesses. In this manner, we'll defend that the
assemblies are needed instruments both to contribute to the institution of this new model,
consolidated on the public's participation, and to give legal safety to decisions taken by the
people, as they represent one valid instrument of the restriction of rulers' actions, through the
accountability and the regularity of the assemblies. This piece of the political gear will serve as
a stabilizing element and as a consolidation of the republican order. Following Rousseau's
guidelines on the matter, we'll work on the citizen's character while performing this activity,
since it'll be their responsibility to conduct the assembly for the destined purposes, having to
exercise their participation in various moments: opining, deliberating, deciding and voting.
We'll also discuss that this instrument, if badly used, can serve as reinforcement to political
corruption.
