This thesis looks into the principle of contractual social function as a guarantor of the social contract. Notwithstanding the fundamentals of contractual logic, above all those which hold in high regard free will and promote the possibility of parties putting together agreements based on their instincts, understandings and preferences, a few things should be noted. The existence of the principle of social function (in harmony with the spirit of sociability proposed and acclaimed in the precepts that rule the current civil code) within the contract which stipulates that the parties should sign agreements that, strictly speaking, have if not as their main objective some connection to social questions and at least some solidarity towards the underpinnings of the collective system for the common good. In short, the social contract is understood to be an agreement by which partners recognize the authority of a political or governmental set of rules to operate equally over all involved. The contract, in turn, is defined as an agreement of wills in accordance with the rule of law; it seeks to create, protect, transfer, conserve or extinguish rights. Though one cannot deny the contractual aspect of many legal relationships founded on agreement of wills and outside patrimonial grounds, a considerable part seeks to limit the contractual concept to the strictest sense of adjustments that establish, regulate, or extinguish ownership. The basis of this thesis is to determine the public order and show just how important the social function of contract is as an idea that helps guarantee the structure of the state itself. This work monitors the dialog between private and public law in which no private convention may be allowed to prevail if contrary to precepts of public order. Since one of the purposes of a contract is the transfer of money/wealth from one person to another, the current economic crisis comes into play; along with it come serious problems in concluding whether the lack of adherence to the social functions of contract may mean attack against the state itself
