I found Rousseau's view of slavery a little odd. He talks about how men are not born equal and that their is a chain of order to which people belong. I believe that Rousseau is talking about the Great Chain of Being where God is at the top of the chain followed by the king following an order down to every living thing. It would make sense for Rousseau to believe in this chain because it clearly defines the order of different groups of people.
Rousseau said that "some [men] were born for slavery and others born to be master" and "in their bondage, lose everything, even the desire to be free." I don't know Rousseau's back round, but that just doesn't seem true to me. I think it is an interesting idea that people are born into certain roles, I just don't think everything happens for a specific reason. There are too many bad things that happen in this world for everything to have a reason.
Excellent analysis!
