Versions of “Social Contract Theory” John Locke “Life, liberty, and the enjoyment of personal property” Government exists to guarantee “natural rights” Power goes to the people No restrictions on citizens without their consent

Expectations For Government Protect People from each other and outsiders Individual rights and liberties Provide public goods and services Parks, monuments, environmental regulations, anti-monopoly policies, commerce, infrastructure, welfare...
