I don't normally downvote so I want to explain why I did it - I think your Rousseau quote is very specific to the historic events and discussions that it came from. He is essentially arguing that democracy is not as good as what we would now call a dictatorship of the proletariat - "The Terror" that he is implimenting in france. It's not really useful for understanding French attitudes to the English at that time, and it isn't particularly about their honesty. This... context blindness makes me wonder if you are an algorithm or something. It's hard to believe a human would be reading a book about that period and think "this is a good quote to show the British have always been considered untrustworthy". There are many examples of historic British untrustworthyness. I'll pick one - the fate of Duleep Singh. I'm sure that you can come up with others. Why these?
