Contract Political and Social Contract

Now the legislature is already sitting in seats in the Parliament, which used to hold the title of phenomenal candidates and busy looking for support, as well as their constituents began to feel restless. Imagine, all collecting scattered promises during the campaign by the candidates diumbar Caleg to be immediately realized. There are some people who tell you how promise as a social contract . meanwhile, there is also the view that the promise in this context is a political contract . Within Islam itself is the definition that a promise is a debt, if not paid it will remain a debt. Debt is payable at any time, how the agreement was made. But if not kept or maybe intentionally forgotten that serious. It might be prosecuted, not only in the world but also in the hereafter.


If we want to briefly turn round and remember opinion of Thomas Hobbes , an English filusuf whose name is well known from the 17th century, in fact, social contract or a political contract it happened because of four things, namely:
First , there is the fact that they had the same basic needs.
Both , if not enough essential goods to be distributed, who should get it?
Third , the fact lack
Fourth , if we can not succeed by relying on their own strength, what hope can we have?
(James Rachels 254:2008).


Referring to the opinion of Thomas, then it makes sense to accept a contract social and political contract , because this is done for our own good. And this is why one another constituent different from each other in determining choice. But because it is situational, it will become more attractive if the political contract or social contract is viewed using glasses situation ethics , and refers to the concept dikemukan by Joseph Flechter , a people ethics of the 20th century.


"In situational ethics, not of any value in and of itself naturally. He obtained a value only because it helps people so that he becomes good or hurt people and he became poor" (1966, 59, Franz Magnis-Suseno 118:2006).


Of the opinion that Joseph, I tried to pull the red thread as a conclusion that for the time being, the spreader promise is a good figure. However, if over time the promise was not proven, there is no other word, I dare say that people spreader asshole promise is a big liar . Now everything is returned to the spreader promise. They should be a choice that he wanted to be good to keep your promises, or maybe vice versa, to be those damn . Usually, by using the excuse of having to compromise and win-win solution with the coalition, so she had to be a jerk by not keep his promise. What? forced!, possible?... This means that the spirit of democracy and nationhood is completely lost.


And if it falls on the last option, then for the umpteenth time, people will come back disappointed. if you feel you will not get what you want, better forget it. Let them be the ones jerk, every time Nusakambangan waiting presence.
