10. Summary of the thesis results:

Chapter 1. In this chapter, the author presents the economic, political, and social premises that influenced the emergence of Rousseau's thought. The immense economic changes impacted the French feudal system, creating a historical demand in France to replace the backward and oppressive feudal regime with a more civilized one that guaranteed human rights. Rousseau's life and work were also direct factors influencing his political thought. His years of wandering and earning a living allowed him to accumulate experience, leading to the publication of *On the Social Contract* in 1742. This work reflected the spirit of the era and the aspiration to build a republic where the people were the subjects of that state.

Chapter 2. In this chapter, the author clearly analyzes Rousseau's conception of the formation of state power, the characteristics of state power, and points out the differences between his conception and that of earlier political thinkers such as Aristotle, Plato, and Montesquieu. Rousseau's conception of the separation of powers is compared to previous conceptions of separation of powers by figures like J. Locke and Montesquieu. The author points out Rousseau's inheritance of previous conceptions of the separation of powers and his new, progressive points. These include affirming popular sovereignty, the belief that state power belongs to the people, and the unity of state power. Based on this, the author assesses the positive and negative aspects of his conception and the ideological significance of state power and the separation of state power in relation to the construction of a socialist rule of law state in Vietnam today.
