Most of us don’t “agree” to abide by the laws of our country, we’re born into them. What options does one have?
…if they love their native land, but the laws employed by that land run counter to their own values & lifestyle? Why does “might make right”? How far can one go in the legal system with the argument, “I was born under these laws and the government presumed my compliance before I even had a choice. At no point did I agree to follow these laws or to respect this government”?
I’ve heard these arguments being made, and can’t honestly find much flaw in them. There are all sorts of “if/then” scenarios, but those aren’t the point, either – what right has society to force an individual into compliance with a code of conduct that individual never once agreed to be bound by? And what alternatives does the government give someone who wishes to “opt out” of such a system? Shouldn’t there be such alternatives? 
The laws of a country are an effect of what others have called a social contract. It is as if, in the past, a group of people has sat down and said ‘we agree to live together under certain conditions.’ Of course, those conditions change as circumstances change, as experience shows what works and what does not work. This contract is far more elaborate than expected, and laws may not capture all of it. A social contract exists on all societies, and of course, may vary enormously.
A social contract exists because human beings have needs that can be partly filled by living together in groups. This contract dictates what the individuals can expect of each other. It is called contract because there are benefits involved, and a price to pay for such benefits. Almost by definition, most people are happy with most of it. It cannot be otherwise. If sufficient people were unhappy with the contract, this contract would change.
A social contract exists for all groups. It could be very different for different groups, but there cannot be a group without a contract.
If you do not like the terms of the social contract, the alternatives are to move into a group whose social contract you like, or try to change the social contract of the group you live with (of course, such change is difficult, but not impossible.)
