Many states require that drivers wear seat belts while operating their motor vehicles. This is not like forbidding the use of cell phones or intoxicants, which might impair the driver and endanger other people on the roads. The seat belt law imposes a governmental regulation that can, at most, be held to protect only the individual citizen whose behavior is being restricted. Why should the government be able to tell an individual what to do in the privacy of his or her own car? Write a paper assessing the seat belt law, in terms of the social contract theories of Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Support your assessment with research on their social contract theories. Consider the following in your paper: Should the government provide security by overcoming the selfish desires of the individual citizen, or should citizens cooperate voluntarily in service of the general welfare of all? What justifies the imposition of governmental authority on individual citizens? Are individuals always obligated to obey the dictates of their government? Which elements of the traditional theories are relevant to this case? Is it unethical for individual citizens to ignore this governmental requirement? You may also wish to apply other conceptions of the basis for social and political order.
