Did you even read your social contract Wiki page?
First, there’s no mention of the American founders. Second…this is how it starts.
The term social contract describes a broad class of philosophical theories whose subjects are the implied agreements by which people form nations and maintain a social order. In laymen’s terms, this means that the people give up some rights to a government in order to receive social order.
THEORIES…that require people to give up rights. Ben Franklin warned against exactly that. You’re on crack if you think the founders intended anything of the sort. They knew that Liberty was the solution.
A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.
Thomas Jefferson, Rights of British America, 1774
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.’ To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, not longer susceptible of any definition.
Thomas Jefferson
How do you like the 10th amendment now Kilmer? Take it from a founder, not some modern interpreter.
Social contract?
I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Ludlow, September 6, 1824
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniencies attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Archibald Stewart, Dec 23, 1791
There are many more, but I have to get to work.
-Social contract
-Implied powers (of Congress)
and plenty of other BS has been invented and inserted into our educational system by people who disagree with the founders views of absolute liberty. That’s why they brainwash people like you and I with it.
