Why is social contract theory criticized?
Social contract usually assumes the existence of natural law which in turn defines some rights of individuals, and that individuals can trade off some of these rights under "social contract" for the protection that government can provide.Some philosophers say that there are no natural laws, and that what are assumed to be natural laws are no more than what is commonly agreed to be just laws. Without natural laws, there are no natural rights and there is therefore nothing for the individual to trade over to the government. On this view, the social contract theory can not be supported.It is also said that the social contract theory establishes the authority of government except when it is really needed. If the right of a government is established because I agreed, or entered into a social contract, to hand over my right to act as I please, then all I need do is cancel that contract before carrying out any crime I choose.
