What does a 'social contract' entail?

  1. Creating a government and abiding by its rules

  2. Paying taxes without representation

  3. The right to rebel against tyranny

  4. A literal written contract among citizens

The correct answer is: Creating a government and abiding by its rules

A social contract refers to the idea that individuals enter into an agreement with a government, willingly giving up some personal freedoms in exchange for protection and stability. This agreement is typically not a literal, written contract like that of option D, but rather an implied understanding between citizens and their government. Option B is incorrect because paying taxes without representation was one of the main reasons for the American Revolution and is not considered a part of the social contract. Option C is incorrect because while the right to rebel against tyranny is a concept that may be referenced in a social contract, it is not the sole focus or purpose of the arrangement. Overall, the key aspect of a social contract is the willingness to follow and abide by the rules and laws set forth by a government, making option A the correct answer.
