In his Oratio pro Leopoldo II, he explicitly declares that only authority derived from a social contract should be recognized; he saw the aristocracy as the enemy of mankind, because they prevented people from becoming educated.
Oma teoses Oratio pro Leopoldo II kinnitab ta selgelt, et tunnistada tuleks vaid ühiskondlikust lepingust tulenevat võimu; ta nägi aristokraatias inimkonna vaenlast, kuna nad takistasid inimestel haridust saada.
