Answer 1

Answer: C) Social Contract Theory

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a theory that originated in the Enlightenment. The essence of the theory concerns the legitimacy of the state's authority and its institutions over the individual. There have been cases of people "selling" certain freedoms throughout history because of certain other concessions. This term was first used by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who was active during the Enlightenment.
