connections between the Declaration of Independence and the second principle, social contract. Be sure to include a quote from the Declaration of Independence.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."

Explanation:

The above-mentioned quote is taken from the Declaration of Independence and it reflects its connection with the social contract which emphasized similar ideas. Through this context the social contract goes back to the period of English Enlightenment and derives the content from the works of Hobbes and Locke. The theory is that man is born free and therefore entitled to certain unalienable rights. It further emphasized that he willingly surrenders some of that freedom to establish government to bring about social order and structure.
