The social contract principle was introduced during the Enlightment era due to the contribution of both Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Locke's work and ideas.
The principle describes how the power of a state resides on its citizens, who can grant it to political representatives that are elected through suffrage. Hence, citizens give up their share of state power (their individual rights). In turn, the elected representatives would propose and implement policies on their behalf. This principle is the base of modern representative democracies.
"of the time" refers to the attempt of the artists to create an art piece that would reflect the contemproary culture.
Explanation:
Minimalist art forms refer to the use of either single or repeated patterns (mostly geometrical) in the creation of modern art piece.
The use of the term “of the time” refers to the activity of minimalist artist like Donald Judd to make an art of contemporary times. This was done by using the material which was at use contemporarily along with contemproary practises.
Donald Judd used to belong to the industrial or machine culture where most of the things were machine-made and not made by the artist himself rather industrial workers, hence he used bronze in the form of thin machine-made sheets which conformed to the machine culture.
These minimalistic art pieces later influenced the development of modern skyscrapers and many design firms.
