Jean Jacques Rousseau

FREEDOM, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY Always had, on the part of chaste privileged, civil or the religious ones, the monopoly of the power, the goods, the wealth and, also, knowing. In Egypt, to have access to the knowledge, the neophytes were obliged to clean the temple and to wash the floor. what they received from the priests in payment was only instruction crumbs, therefore the access to the papyruses and teachings restricted them. In the same way, during the Average Age, the noblemen explored its vassals, repaying to them a lowermost part of what they produced in its feudals. The lands were donated by the kings or suseranos to the noblemen and gentlemen of castles. However many of these if refused to pay to the king or suserano the tax and the favors that in exchange for demanded them its marks, baronatos, ducados and counties, while on the other hand these if seted and explored its vassals and employed.

While you of the castles they seted small armies and they made front to the requirements of the king, the vassals did not have who defended against the feudal exploration you to them that, in turn, them they promised to food and protection in exchange for its agricultural production and of its unrestricted obedience. They had been practically a thousand years of domain and exploration. But the things had started to move from the moment where if they had initiated revolts in the seio of the oppressed classrooms, demanding a worthy payment, that nothing more age of what a joust counterpart for the goods, products and services that almost produced of favour for its gentlemen. It was more or less in this time, however in different centuries, that had appeared the exponential figures of San Francisco de Assis and Don Rodrigo de Bivar. Both, its way, in due time and place, had renounced to the condition of richness and prestige and had started to fight for the cause of the victims of an injustice, oppressed poor persons and. Francisco was son of an Italian fabric trader and Rodrigo, of a noble knight of the cut of the Spanish king. Francisco, after having if armed participated knight and of some military incursions, took knowledge of that the patrimony of its family was formed of booties and despojos of the cities the one that mercenaries took by assault; then resigned to the richness of the father, returning to it until the clothes that dressed, and thus, covering itself of rags, it left house, come to establish, with its followers, the order of the franciscanos, for the poor persons, of the sick people and desvalidos, the nature and the animals. Rodrigo, after avenging its father in a combat with the 2 second lieutenant of the king and later to incompatibilizar itself with heirs of Fernando I, abandoned the castle of these, where he lived as a prince, and left to peregrinar, changedding into the lendria figure of El Cid the Campeador, that gave to drink of its proper canteen a leper and was capable to deal with in one same level equality to a beggar and a king. Passed a thousand years not yet we learn, of El Cid and San Francisco, these true lies of freedom, equality and fraternity, words that would come to be congregated by Jean Jacques Rousseau and to be used as legend for the French Revolution, when extinguishing the feudalismo and the privileges of the nobility, and that still today they are adopted as verge, in its standard, for the Franc Masonry.
