Question: The social contract theory states that?
Answer: Society needs rules and laws and that if we live according to a social contract, we can later live morally by our own choice and not because a divine being requires it.
Explanation: The social contract theory is an instrument that helps people enter into a new society. This transition is guided by conditions/terms and the social contract embodies those terms and conditions. It believes that people live together in society by respecting an agreement that establishes moral and political rules of behavior. It also states that if we live according to a social contract, we can later, by our own personal will, live morally and not because a divine being requires it.
