Answer 1

A: People surrender some of their natural rights in exchange for the common good.

Step-by-step explanation:

In both Locke and Rousseau's social contract theories, the main idea was that the people would surrender some of their freedoms to the government, in exchange for a fair government system and society.

The government would protect society for the common good and the people would surrender some of their freedoms for this system to work.
