Answer:

[I]n the state context, I think there's a relatively easy way to do this—have fewer legislators! At the national level, we have a bicameral legislature because of the overall workings of the federal system. But the non-Nebraska states have bicameral legislatures for no real reason. If you simply eliminated the lower houses, you'd end up with substantially fewer state legislators. Then you could pay them more and offer them more staff. It'd also be easier for citizens to keep track of who their elected officials actually are (can you name who represents you in your state legislature?) and make the electoral competition for the seats more fearsome.

Open question: why do states have two chambers? (Seriously).

The U.S. Senate is the product of a compromise between the states. Why do states need to emulate that model? Going back even futher, do we want to follow the lead of a parliamentary system where 1/2 of the leadership was traditionally filled because of birthright? I'm a big fan of the U.S. Senate. I just don't get why there needs to be a New York Senate.

Answer:

Both of the people mentioned above were known philosopher who have said different opinion regarding how a government should be run and how to interpret social contract.

For me personally, I feel social contract is a set of agreement that's not necessarily written within the law. But, this agreement need to be carried out by all people in society in order to maintain peace and order.

Humans are inherently selfish organism. We tend to act based our own interest. But if we always follow that interest , there's a chance when we might hurt other people in the process.

Social contract basically an agreement that make us agree to prevent ourselves to pursue some of that interest, and let ourselves be ruled by Laws which determine the things that we can and cannot do. Government and the people have to act accordingly to this set of laws to prevent chaos from occurring.
