I need links to definitions or definitions of the term "Hypothetical Contract Model."

It is a hypothetical contract as the name implies, but what is the purpose. Why is it used? What are the key elements of it. How would one go about producing this? I need clarification in order to be able to build one in a specific instance.
Tip for best answer: M$10.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

This quote provides one of the explanations for a "Hypothetical Contract Model" the other links listed will also provide more information.
----quote----
1.2 Hypothetical Agreements

Given that the problem of justification has taken center stage, the second aspect of contemporary social contract thinking appears to fall into place: its reliance on models of hypothetical agreement. The aim is to model the reasons of citizens, and so we ask what they would agree to under conditions in which their agreements would be expected to track their reasons. Contemporary contract theory is, characteristically, doubly hypothetical.

Hypothetical Contract is something that the court writes for both parties because it is convinced that both would have agreed to its terms at the the time the unsolicited was bestowed.

The hypothetical contract according to Ronald Dworkin, "is not simply a pale form of an actual contract; it is no contract at all". His definition draws analysis from rules of the game, where a person agrees to the rules of the game before the game began, but to enforce a rule of the game where the person does not totally agree with the rule is unjust.

-quote-

"A commonly accepted criticism of the social contract approach to justifying political authority targets the notion of hypothetical consent. Hypothetical contracts, it is argued, are not binding; therefore hypothetical consent cannot justify political authority. I argue that although hypothetical consent may not be capable of creating political obligation, it has the power to legitimate political arrangements."

== A hypothetical contract is a contract that is (not?) in existence because the parties involved has come to an agreement before there is an actual written contract for them to sign.

== It is (a contract) based on morality in the hopes that all parties involved do completely agree and will cooperate, based on that agreement..

== The contract is needed because of widespread moral decay and it is put in place to try to keep the those not immediately involved from disrespecting the values and preferences of other people.
