To sum it up, Thomas Hobbes believed without an absolute monarch, life would be "nasty, brutish, and short". John Locke believed that if a ruler was tyrannical, the people had the right to revolt against him/her. Social contract theory is a theory that a person's moral and political obligations are bound by a 'contract' that forms the society. Idk how this is related to the First Amendment, I'm not American
