Vontade Geral versus Direito Natural

É o tema que espero ser capaz de abordar. Quem quiser deixar pistas de reflexões nos comentários até agradeço.

Vontade Geral: As decisões comunitárias, colectivas, democráticas (embora para mim, entre comunitarismo até colectivo e/ou democrático a distância seja ainda assim apreciável).

Direito Natural:

"As reason tells us, all are born thus naturally equal, with an equal right to their persons, so also with an equal right to their preservation . . . and every man having a property in his own person, the labour of his body and the work of his hands are properly his own, to which no one has right but himself; it will therefore follow that when he removes anything out of the state that nature has provided and left it in, he has mixed his labour with it, and joined something to it that is his own, and thereby makes it his property. . . . Thus every man having a natural right to (or being proprietor of) his own person and his own actions and labour, which we call property, it certainly follows, that no man can have a right to the person or property of another: And if every man has a right to his person and property; he has also a right to defend them . . . and so has a right of punishing all insults upon his person and property." Rev. Elisha Williams (1744), citado no Ethics of Liberty do "property rights anarchist-economist" Murray N. Rothbard

Temas ao barulho: como adquirir propriedade honestamente que está no estado da natureza (pela ocupação e uso? ou pela permissão/concessão de terceiros?). A secessão (sempre um ou mesmo "o" elemento de análise). A compatibilidade ou incompatibilidade da Vontade Geral com o Direito Natural.
