has been heavily influenced by the religious views

Napoleonic Empire. In 1809, Napoleon defeated the
Austrians again at Wagram, annexed the Illyrian

Jean Jacques Rousseau Part Of Society

The Chains of Society Individualism, or the belief
that an individual should possess the virtues of
self-reliance and personal independence, has
