Social Contract Theories of Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau: An extrapolation of Point of
Harmony and Tensions.
Musa El-thani Muhammad

Abstract
This paper provided an extrapolation of major social contract theories by arguing their points of harmony and tension concerning the state of nature. The paper argued that the idea of the creation of state through a contract is found in rudimentary form in ancient thought in which ancient Greek sophists described the state as an outcome of contract between men. The paper concludes that social contract theory has been relevant to the explanation of the essence of government as well for theorizing of democratic principles in modern state systems.
