Answer 1

Some defenders of social contract theory reply to the critics of social contract theory that people are much more likely to have given their implicit consent.

Explanation:

• The social contract theory has been looked at from various perspectives by many thinkers and philosophers.
• Some philosophers believe that the social contract theory hinders the idea of the right to utter liberty as the government gets excessive power.
• On the other hand, the supporters of the social contract theory argue that the social contract theory is happily accepted by the majority of the public who believe that a powerful government should exist to implement discipline.
