Natural rights/law?

Actual contracts?

Voluntary agreement and organization?

I probably fall most into the natural law camp, given my biblical worldview.

the problem with actual contracts and voluntary agreements is that it's impossible to write a contingency for every possible state of the law. Whenever a situation happens outside the written contract language or there's ambiguity, you will have to resort to some principles that exist outside the contract.

You need judges basically. Which is how law developed over time. Predates the state.

I'm basically in the same camp.

Social contract theory is one of those things like taxes that seems to fall apart under scrutiny.

I don't know... the part about taxes where they're a protection payment seems to be quite durable under scrutiny.

That's not what I mean. Your average person doesnt view them with that understanding. You hear "ciic duty" and social contract.

Protection payment is way more accurate to what it is.
