ANSWER:

James, the Duke of York, allowed a social contract with the colonies, and him. It was based on:

"In this condition everyone enjoyed certain basic rights, particularly the rights to life, liberty, and ownership of property."

So, James, and the colonies worked out a social agreement, for his power to rule, and the people to be allowed to keep the basic rights they had earlier possessed.
