One of my favorite things in PolSci are the Social Contract authors and their theories. Basically, they argue about the origins of legitimacy of political authority and moral norms. We, the people, give up some rights to a government or authority to receive/preserve social order. How were people before this happened, called the state of nature? Why did this happen? What is in human nature? Stay tuned. I will break this down into the authors I personally find the most interesting.

The questions I have here are: which of these come closer to your particular vision? What is your own theory on these topics? Which do you think is bullshit? Which is the most interesting to you? 

P.S.: Have in mind that I only watered everything down for a post that is easy to read. If you are interested and want to read about it in detail, you may find these interesting. Of course there are other relevant authors as well.
