Social Contract

A social contract is a theory or model that began at the time of enlightenment and is usually about the legitimacy of state power over a person. Social contract disputes often require people to acknowledge, surrender or clarify, give up some of their freedom and submit to the authority (governor, or public decision) to protect their rights or maintain public order. The relationship between natural and legal rights is often the topic of social contractual theory. The name is taken from its name in the contract for The Social (French: Du contrat social ou Principes du droit politique), a 1762 book written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau on the idea. Although the conclusions of social contract law are found in ancient times, in Greek and Stoic philosophy and Roman and Canon law, the social contract clock was from the 17th to the early 19th century, when it emerged as the leading doctrine of political legitimacy.
