The theory you are referring to is the social contract theory. This theory, articulated by philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, posits that governments are formed through an implicit agreement among individuals to create and abide by laws for the protection and benefit of all.
