The correct option is (B) an agreement that all people have the right to life, liberty, and property.
According to John Locke, Social Contract Theory expresses two fundamental ideas to which the human mind always clings the value of liberty; the idea that “will” and not “force” is the basis of government; and the value of justice or the idea that “right” and not “might” is the basis of all political society and of every system of political order.
The theory seeks to explain the formation of societies and governments.
Despite the great variations on some points, the Social Contract Theory mainly focuses on the voluntary consent that people give to the formation of the government.
