{'john locke': [4, 0, 0, 1], 'social contract theory': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'patriarchal theory': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'theory': [14, 0, 6, 19], 'divine rights': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'force': [0, 0, 0, 2]}

John Locke is best known for his theory of Social Contract. This theory suggests that individuals form a collective agreement or contract with their government. According to Locke, people give up some of their natural rights and freedoms in exchange for protection and security from the government. This social contract between the people and the government establishes the legitimacy of the government`s authority.

Option 2, the Theory of Divine Rights, is incorrect as it is associated with the belief that monarchs are chosen by God and have absolute authority.

Option 3, the Patriarchal Theory, is also incorrect as it is associated with the belief that society is organized hierarchically with men at the top, having control over women and children.

Option 4, the Theory of Force, is incorrect as it implies that individuals are coerced into obeying the government through the use of force, which is not a central idea in Locke`s theory.

Thus, the correct answer is option 1, Social Contract Theory.
