The Social Contract was banned and condemned because it stated that men were noble savages and that they have to throw off the restraints of society. So French government thought that Rousseau was trying to over throw the government by putting false notions into the mind of public they were afraid of losing their position so they needed to silence him and burn the books. I think the Social contract was good for the public so they know what they could accomplish by knowing the state of nature. (I will finish this later)
