Answer:

The Social Contract Theory is a person's moral and political views that are based upon an agreement that defines the rights and duties of each and another.

Step-by-step explanation:

John Lockes take on Social Contract Theory;

He believed that people are born with natural rights are they are protected in the state of nature. In order to protect these rights, there needed to be a government

Thomas Hobbes take on Social Contract Theory:

He believed that the state of nature was beyond man's control. In order to protect natural rights, we needed an absolute ruler (Leviathan). The reason for this ruler is because Hobbes believed that all men were evil against each other.
