Detailed explanation-1: -The theory of an implicit social contract holds that by remaining in the territory controlled by some society, which usually has a government, people give consent to join that society and be governed by its government if any. This consent is what gives legitimacy to such a government.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, social contract theory is rightly associated with modern moral and political theory and is given its first full exposition and defense by Thomas Hobbes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Social contract theory says that people live together in society in accordance with an agreement that establishes moral and political rules of behavior.
