A social contract is an agreement between <u>the ruled and their rulers or the government and the people.</u>
In political philosophy the concept of the social contract was first fully developed by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes in his book named "Leviathan: The Matter, Form, and Power of a Commonwealth, Ecclesiastical and Civil" (1651).
The author defined a social contract as an agreement between the ruled and their rulers, in which all individuals in a society cede their natural rights (life, liberty, property, etc.) to an absolute government, even meaning that individuals would have to accept abuses of power. Through the contract people could live better and maintain peace, receive protection and avoid conflict by the establishment of a civil society.
The long-term impact of Martin Luther's break from the Catholic Church was the division of Christianity into many factions and groups. We see many Protestant churches today as a result of his "revolution."
Luther had not intended to break away from the Roman Catholic Church; he wanted to reform it and restore it to what he saw as a proper foundation on the Bible. But Rome did not agree with him, and ultimately a new church, the Lutheran Church, formed. There also were other Protestant reformers, and other new churches developed from their teachings and influence.
Another point might be made: Luther emphasized the individual's freedom of conscience to believe what he thought the Word of God was saying. Though Luther did not intend it as a political movement, this began thoughts in the direction of freedom of speech and conscience in social life. The historian Philip Schaff has said that the Reformation "marks the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of modern times. Starting from religion, it gave, directly or indirectly, a mighty impulse to every forward movement, and made Protestantism the chief propelling force in the history of modern civilization."
