With this phrase, Rousseau meant that nature gives man enough intellect to create the concepts and laws that govern a state as a work of art is created.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Rousseau was an advocate of making states that were just, well-structured, and with laws that would protect the national political body and citizens.
  • He believed that the elaboration of a fair and efficient state was similar to a work of art, as it needed to be thought out, studied, and established with care and dedication.
  • For him, human beings were completely capable of doing this, as they possessed a perfect intellect given by God and created by nature.
  • An example that confirms this position of Rousseau is the creation of the US Federal Constitution, which took place in 1787 in Philadelphia.

Thus, we can consider that Rousseau saw political elaboration as a work of art that sought to improve citizens.
