The correct answer is D) Hobbes and Rosseau.

The other options of the question were A) Locke and Newton. B) Hobbes and Calvin. C) Galileo and Locke.

The TWO of the writers mentioned in the video that helped to create the "Social Contract Theory" are Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jaques Rosseau.

One of the many results of the Enlightenment period was that thinkers and philosophers established a series of modern concepts for the time that later influenced revolutionary movements such as the Independence movement of the 13 colonies from the English crown and the French Revolution. One of those ideas was the "Social Contract Theory." that established the authority of the state over the person. Under the ideas of this theory, citizens agree to cede some liberty to the authority of the state in exchange for protection. Thomas Hobbes expressed that human condition lacked political order and thinker Jean-Jaques Rosseau was the author of the book called "The Social Contract" in 1762.
