would it make sense to say: (i am writing a report on rousseau's belief in the social contract)

"....in which people come to accept the rules of society and agree to follow and pertain to them." ??
thanks, and feedback on making this sentence better? i'm not quite sure i'm fond of the way it sounds. thanks, and much appreciated everyone:)

I think the sentence is quite good, maybe add a little more detail.

okay, thank you so much(:

Okay, you're welcome. =3

I don't understand the use of the word "pertain" in this sentence.

Do you mean ". . . agree to follow and promote them . . ."?

yes! that's what was wrong...

i knew something didn't sound right in that statement...

Whoops......I'm sorry.......Dx
