What is a Contract?

A contract is an agreement between two people that says what one person will get in return for what the other person will give. An example of a contract is a contract to play a sport for a professional team.

In the same way, John Locke suggested that government should be a social contract between the people and the government. The people give up some power to the government in order for the government to maintain order, and the government promises to protect the natural rights of the people as written in the contract. An example of a social contract is the Constitution of the United States of America.
