Abstract
This paper mainly focuses on the Social Contract theory. Social Contract theory is a theory that takes about a hypothetical state of nature and how the existence of state came into being. There are three philosophers who have been credited for this theory namely Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Rosseau but this paper aims to study the theories of only John Lock and Thomas Hobbes. In the beginning the paper talks about the individual understanding of their theories and at the end it brings out the difference in both their theories. Finally giving a critical apprehension of their theories.
