Question

who prospered the theory of Social contract ? What do you mean by social contract?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778), in his influential 1762 treatise The Social Contract, outlined a different version of social-contract theory, as the foundations of society based on the sovereignty of the 'general will'. Rousseau's political theory differs in important ways from that of Locke and Hobbes.

Answer 2

Answer:

The idea of the social contract goes back at least to Epicurus (Thrasher 2013). In its recognizably modern form, however, the idea is revived by Thomas Hobbes; it was developed in different ways by John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant.
