SUMMING UP
For Hobbes, the goal of the social contract is to
avoid a state of nature; to do so, we should follow
the laws of nature and obey those in charge
For Rawls, the goal of the social contract is to
make society just, i.e. fair for all; to do so, we
should choose principles that arent biased by our
knowledge of our personal characteristics
