Social Contract

A social contract is a theory or model, originating during the Age of Enlightenment, that typically addresses the questions of the origin of society and the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual. Hobbes created the social contract so that people can give up some of their liberty for some common security. John Locke on the other hand was a little bit different. He expressed the radical view that government is morally obliged to serve people, namely by protecting life, liberty, and property. He explained the principle of checks and balances to limit government power. He favored representative government and a rule of law. He denounced tyranny. He insisted that when government violates individual rights, people may legitimately rebel.
There were many ups and downs to making our own social contract. It was kinda hard because we didn't really think through different things that could possibly happen with the rules if we were in that time. There were perks to the whole main process of making the rules though. It was fun to think of different rules and you really feel as though you are in charge of a small colony or something. It was kinda easy to think of the question because all you have to do is think of a consequence and add something before it and then you have a pretty solid rule. Overall though, I though it was very easy and very fun.
We had to change a few of the rules. From our classmates feedback...some of our rules seemed to easy and didn't involve much punishment  and didn't invoke fear. Most of our rules had to do with helping others which not many people had put bad feedback on.
