Our social contract has been there since the inception in 1776. And your comment is true about almost all our laws.

you should hibernate, emigrate or plan for jail since you reject the jurisdiction of our laws.

And what happens when one person has sex with another without their consent, government acts to punish the breaking of the social contract.
And what happens when one person forces a transaction without the consent of another, again the government acts.
And what happens when someone forces another to work, the government fights a Civil War.
And what makes the social contract not subjugation, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Which gives us a system that works well, and even better if those who don’t like it emigrate.

FFS, memes.

Also, the government steps in based on the written rule of law, justified by the absence of consent. Not the "social contract."
