Now, let’s turn our attention to other great political scientists, namely Hobbes, Rousseau, and Locke. Hobbes helped to establish the social contract theory in which Rousseau and Locke agreed. Essentially, we, humankind, living in communities, have a duty to follow established laws and respect leaders in exchange for help and protection from the state (country). In other words, individuals consciously join in the civil society instead of just surviving. We have a contract with each other to do good and right by each other.

Rousseau expanded on the social contract with a treatise on education. Rousseau promoted the importance of an education for children so that they could be conscious, thinking beings instead of mindless drones as the prisoners in the Allegory of the Cave are. Rousseau would be disgusted with the lack of resources and promotion of a holistic education for children. His ideas stemmed from the importance of the “general will’. The general will is individuals collectively working together to benefit each other, again a major component of the social contract.

Locke is another contractualist who supported civil society and the social contract. Yet, Locke’s most important contribution was around personal property. Every person deserves the right to own property.

Looking at all of these great philosophers, how did each of them influence the U.S. Constitution?
