Explanation:

Feudalism was an economic, political, social and cultural organization based on land tenure, which predominated in Western Europe during the Middle Ages.

The Vassal means a subject of a sovereign. It is a concept of the Middle Ages and is related to the system of feudalism. The vassal was the individual who asked for some benefit from a superior nobleman and in return took an oath of absolute fidelity. On the other hand, the servants composed feudal society, were responsible for the sustenance of all feudal orders and subordinated to their master. The servants were responsible for the production of wealth in the feudal world. The feudal lords depended on the servants to work the land and guarantee the sustenance of the society.

social contract theory, nearly as old as philosophy itself, is the view that persons' moral and/or political obligations are dependent upon a contract or agreement among them to form the society in which they live
