Social contract theory

Explanation:

Social contract theory is as old as itself philosophy. in this view people, moral and political obligations are independent of a contract between people and the government in which they live. Socrates uses some things like a social contract argument to explain to the critic why he has to be a prison and accept the death penalty. However, we can say that social contract theory is the combination of modern sociology and political theory and given its first full exposition and defense by Thomas Hobbes. In the 20th century, moral and political theory regained philosophical momentum. Some philosophical argues that political and social contract theory is an incomplete view of our moral and political lives. the contract is itself parasitical subjugation classes of a person.
