Social Contract

The social contract is a concept propagated by the state to support the illusion that there is a consensual relationship between individuals and the state. The state uses various formats to deploy this perception. The Constitution of the United States of America is an example of a “social contract,” in that it bases its legitimacy in a set of signatures signed by men long dead. Our perspective is that individual rights and liberties are axiomatic and are not derived from a legal document or legal system. No contract is required, and the contract ultimately only serves to restrict. A contract is signed to represent two or more parties engaging in a transaction that requires a formal agreement. If there were a social contract that can apply to you, you would have been asked to sign it.
