Group Theory and American Exceptionalism Name: Institution: Group Theory Hobbe's Locke and Rousseau have different perspectives of the social contract theory. The social contract theory is a philosophical theory that seeks to explain the origin of the state. A social contact is a moral and political obligation dependent on a contract between the people and the society. The social contact theory has three stages which provide the differences between the theories of John Locke Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. According to Hobbes the state is a representation of the interactions between human beings hence the watching the United States to mock it rather than envy it. In the course of the presidential campaign Trump promised to make America exceptional by ensuring it takes its long lost glory. Unlike other presidents Trump views exceptionalism as a conditional state and has promised to redefine it. Reference Rousseau J. J. & Betts C. (2008).
