Answer:

When this government or legislature doesn't fulfill its duty on the social contract.

Step-by-step explanation:

John Locke was one of the first philosophers to talk about a minimum government. According to him, the only duty of the government was to maintain the welfare state through social policies. The Social Contract address that the people have the right to take down this government if it is not following the rules because according to the contract, the non-following of the rules causes the loss of credibility and the right to rule.
