john Locke's theory of natural law applies to the social contract theory because it explains a person's rational thinking of giving up freedom to have political order. Natural law can refer to the use of reasoning.

He believed people are born with certain rights and can acquire other rights by entering into agreement-in a "social contract"-with other people. He disputed that there is such a thing as the "divine right of kings". He is one of the philosophers who influenced the US founding fathers.
