can you havs an effective social contract if you have significant economic and social inequality? (answer in 4 sentences)

Social contract is the covenant between an individual and the state. Existence of the states is defensible when the individuals of the society obliquely approve to confine to the standards of the society in return for the peaceable survival and living in the society.

Explanation:

Thomas Hobbes was the one who proposed this social contract theory during Enlightment era. Societies agree to obey in all matters in return for an assurance of harmony and safety in the society. If inequality prevails in the society, then there will not be amity, peace and harmony.

Many protests would take place which makes the people go against the laws of the government.
