Answer 2

Answer:    States the rights of rulers and citizens

Explanation:  The social contract was the Enlightenment idea of ​​the relationship between people and government. This contract did not favor any class of people because it was based on the idea that all people were born with equal rights, namely natural rights to life, liberty and property.  Thus, this contract ensured that the government was elected by a majority, and that the government must have an obligation to provide the conditions for the exercise of the natural rights of all people. If does not, government will be replaced by the will of the same people who chose it. On the other hand, people have an obligation to help the government achieve a common goal, which means that they sometimes have to give up some benefits for a common goal that will mean long-term benefits.
