Answer:

It reaches that conclusion from it's particular starting point

Step-by-step explanation:

The Social contract theory is nearly as old as philosophy itself, is the understanding that persons’ moral and/or political responsibility are reliant upon a contract or agreement between them to create the society in which they live.

However, social contract theory is correctly associated with modern moral and political premise and is accorded its first full elucidation and defense by Pateman.
