Detailed explanation-1: -The social contract in Locke Accordingly, Locke held that the obligation to obey civil government under the social contract was conditional upon the protection of the natural rights of each person, including the right to private property. Sovereigns who violated these terms could be justifiably overthrown.
Detailed explanation-2: -John Locke Wrote That: All people are free, equal, and have “natural rights” of life, liberty, and property that rulers cannot take away. All original power resides in the people, and they consent to enter into a “social contract” among themselves to form a government to protect their rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -Social contract theory, nearly as old as philosophy itself, is the view that persons’ moral and/or political obligations are dependent upon a contract or agreement among them to form the society in which they live.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
