The Social Contract theory relates to the principle of a Constitutional government because it is the underlying principle behind the creation of a government that follows a constitution.
<h3>How is the social contract theory relevant?</h3>
The Social Contract theory calls for a government to be established for the purpose of protecting its citizens and ensuring their welfare. This government is not to impede on the rights of citizens and if it does, it can be removed from power.
This is the principle behind the establishment of a constitutional government because constitutions tell the government what they can and cannot do. They therefore spell out the duties of the government while making sure the government does not impede on rights.
