What did Enlightenment thinkers mean by the term "social contract"? an agreement between the people and their government a contract between different manufacturers in the same industry an agreement between the Church and the monarchy an understanding that scientists were free to make experiments
they used the term social contract between the people and their king, if they felt he was a bad king they had the right to impeach him (i think impeach would be the term you use for over throw can't remember.)
