No, it was always a dumb theory, and I don't need any link to tell me that.

Hobbes was a nut.  But Locke's theory of a social contract does pertain to the USA.  If our governmental officeholders betry us and our 'contract' we can send them packing.

Define 'us' and 'we.'

The main problem with the 'social contract' theory is that it would require unanimous consent to be a legitimate basis for government.
