Abstract
The analysis proceeds from the fact that the social contract is independent scientific and social phenomenon that embodies various forms of social concord (social contract) between the people and the state, given that they are not only open, but also latent, reflecting the deep processes taking place in the public mind. Based on the criteria inherent in the social contract the article characterizes the goals, means of achieving them, the effectiveness of feedback and participation of the people in managing the affairs of society and state. It gives an analysis of the process of its formation and functioning in modern Russian society. Special consideration is also given to worldview attitudes and values focused on the role of labor and education in the life of society and state. It is noted that the social contract can be compared with social glue, which manifests itself through the conscious participation of the people in social development, which indicates the degree of its effectiveness and efficiency in the state preserving and strengthening.
