Social Contract Theory: Natural Rights and Personhood Within Democracy

Personality is the central issue of discussion on moral and natural rights. For the moral theory or system claiming natural rights, its argument of dealing with people and / or the rights he has must begin with "people". There is no doubt that humans have essential values ​​lacking in entities such as flies and trees. This value comes not only from material form but also from personality; since these things can be separated from our physical form, they are developed and materialized in the form of a human body I can not do it.

Thomas Hobbs (1651), John Locke (1689) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1762) are the most famous philosophers in social contract theory, which formed the theoretical foundation of democracy. The theory of natural rights influences the development of classical liberalism, which emphasizes that its refusal to individualist freedom of individualism and sovereignty oppose the general principles of social contract theory. According to Hobbes' theory, without our society, we live in a natural state (virtual situation as historical data can not support it), infinite natural freedom to each of us there is. The disadvantage of this general autonomy is that it includes "all rights" so that it can freely harm all people who threaten to defend themselves.

People with social contract theory think that natural rights are indivisible, so the rule of God supersedes the authority of the government; Rousseau believes that democracy (self-sustenance) has individual freedom under the rule of law I believe it is the best way to maintain. 0 America's most famous sports The four major leagues in the USA are the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), the Major League Baseball (MLB), and the National Hockey League (NHL).

John Locke is another proud man. His assumption about natural law and social contract theory provides the foundation of modern democracy. A social contract signifies that there is a "contract" without a contract between society and the government, and if the government violates the intention of the people, the contract becomes ineffective, the citizens gain the right to establish a new government I will. It is a bit familiar. Yes, founder of the United States was greatly influenced by the idea of ​​rock. Locke is also admired by the development of the concept of modern "whiteboard". In other words, human thought is the "state of blank paper" at birth and can be formed.
