This is not about “society as we know it”, this is about a particular way of designing your political system. The American way of doing things in this regard is not terribly widespread.
So no, this is not about lofty and universal concepts like “social contract” or anything like that, it is about specific constitutional designs, which are not the same everywhere. Especially the “checks and balances” system.

I like what I’ve heard around the Internet: “social contract”
Violate that contract, agreements (and a lack of consequences) are null.
Time to build some guillotines.
