Please respond to this prompt: Discuss Hume’s criticisms of the social contract doctrine contained in his essay ‘Of the Original Contract’. Assuming that Hume is criticizing Locke’s view as found in the Second Treatise, which of Hume’s arguments are most effective? Does Locke have a sufficient reply? Which account, Locke’s social contract doctrine or Hume’s utilitarianism, provides the best account of the legitimacy of governments and our political obligations to obey the laws and show allegiance to our government? Explain. I will give more specific instructions once a bid has been selected! Thank you!
