John Locke was not of the opinion that <u>b) </u><u>individuals must enter </u><u>into a </u><u>social contract</u><u> with </u><u>government</u><u>. </u>
John Locke came up with a Theory of Social Contract as well as other philosophies in relation to government. He believed that:
Government power needed to be separated into the legislative, judicial and executive branches for it to function well
Government power should be limited to certain roles
The government derived its powers from the willingness of the people to submit
He did not believe that people needed to get into a social contract with the government but rather that they should only do it consensually.
In conclusion, John Locke believed a social contract between government and people was necessary but that it needed to be done willingly.
