Social Contract

by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

✓ Read Public Domain

In moral and political philosophy, social contract is an idea, theory, or model that usually, although not always, concerns the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual. Conceptualized in the Age of Enlightenment, it is a core concept of constitutionalism, while not necessarily convened and written down in a constituent assembly and constitution.
