The preamble to the Declaration of Independence outlines the principles of a government based on a social contract.

Further Explanation:

A social contract is an agreement between citizens and their government. In this scenario, the citizens agree to give up some of their individual freedoms and liberties. In return, the government agrees to develop institutions and laws that will provide for safety for all citizens. This balance of power between citizens and the government ensures that the government has the ability to create laws that punish citizens for wrongdoing. The hope is that penalties will discourage citizens from committing harmful actions.

In the actual preamble to the Declaration of Independence, it indirectly refers to this topic when it discusses how governments gain their power "from the consent of the governed."  Along with this, the preamble also discusses the idea that people have the power to "dissolve" this relationship with the government if they become destructive and start to infringe upon the civil liberties of individual citizens.
