Write a brief statement of the meaning of social contract theory. This assignment can take two tracks: Write this statement as if you were taking a test and this was one of the short answer questions. This means that you can refer to key theorists and/or events that help to underpin your argument about social contract theory, but you are not to take this information from another source. It is to be in your own words. Write this statement as if you were writing your essay, had found a source related to the social contract theory and were planning on paraphrasing the information and including it in the body of your paper. This means that you are to actually paraphrase the information, rather than just changing some words around, but nevertheless keeping the structure and tone of the source you are using.
