Correct answer: Social Contract theory (economic form)
Roads and highways are built by governments (local, state and federal), and we support road building and repairs through taxes we pay. This is an economic social contract. The "social contract" refers to an implicit agreement between a government and the citizens of the society overseen by that government.
Philosophers of the Enlightenment era were famous for arguing the idea of a "social contract." According to this view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. One of the most influential of the social contract theorists was John Locke, who repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government.</em> In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>, Locke then argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting and enhancing their own life, liberty, and property. Preserving and enhancing roads and infrastructure, supported by taxes paid, is an example of this sort of economic agreement within the social contract under which we live.
