Although  Locke and Rousseau  wrote prominent treatises on the social contract, Thomas Hobbes introduced the idea of it. He argued that human beings were evil in nature, and thus needed to enter a contract in which everyone basically agreed not to kill each other (i.e. in his natural state, although completely free, man would always be wary of subjected to another man's brutishness. Whereas in society we are all supposedly better off-even if there are sacrifices involved-because there is an agreement binding each man into behavior that's meant to contain man's evil nature).

Judges keep the country safe from political majorities because
Butoxors [25]
The way I understand the question, this would be because political majorities would in principle be able to do anything, since they have the political power (even immoral things and things which are not compatible with constitution).

Judges can make sure that the laws introduced are not illegal (that is: are not at odds with the constitution) and in this way they keep the country safe from at least breaking the constitution.

Also, they can make sure that the political majorities don't abuse their power in other ways, such as imprison people without a trial. People then "prosecuted" by the political majority can go to a court and demand justice
