-Social contract theory: that by contract, people surrender to the state the power needed to maintain order and the state, in turn, agree to protect its citizens.

-Social contract theory says that people live together in society in accordance with an agreement that establishes moral and political rules of behavior.Some people believe that if we live according to a social contract, we can live morally by our own choice and not because a divine being requires it.
