What is the difference between Social Contract and Popular Sovereignty?

Hobbes' social contract theory references the idea that people must agree to be governed, while Rosseau's theory of popular sovereignty is exacting in it's claim that a government receives its legitimacy and power from the people.

Social contract theory is about power to the people, while popular sovereignty is a loose philosophical concept dealing with a contract between the people and their government.
