Social contract

  A social contracti s a contract in which the citizens give up some of their rights of nature for protection that the government guarantees. 

     Thomas Hobbes and John Locke strongly believed in social contracts. Hobbes thought they were necessary to get out of the state of nature and to form a government. Locke agreed in having a social contract in which he also believed the government should have all, if not most, of the power. But the power was to only to inforce laws. 

  My group made a social contract and these are the rules; 

It was tough to decide on what rules to  include. Overal we thought we did a good job deciding the rules for our social contract. There were some changes I would change due to constructive critisism. I would change the last rule to four guards instead of two just in case someone falls a sleep or if there was a lot more thieves than two men can handle. Also, I would change rule 5. I would change it to; when the size reaches a quarter of the original size then every 10 people get two representatives. Lastly, rule number three would be changed to; all problems will be sorted out by a dibate then a vote.
