This work sought to understand the concepts of will of all, will of the body and general will in Rousseau, seeking their relationship with the idea of people´s tyranny and the participation of people in power. We saw that who occupies the centrality of the Rousseau´s political philosophy is his concept of general will, ruling the legittimate State and withdrawing the virtue from the centrality of the political philosophy´s argumentative core and that the general will deals with the idea of people´s tyranny through a mechanism that excludes the will of all and places the people as sovereign body and legislator, which defines a good form of government.
