By the MAXSAT problem, we are given a set $V$ of $m$ variables and a collection $C$ of $n$ clauses over $V$. We will seek a truth assignment to maximize the number of satisfied clauses. This problem is $\textit{NP}$-hard even for its restricted version, the 2-MAXSAT problem by which every clause contains at most 2 literals. In this paper, we discuss a polynomial time algorithm to solve this problem. Its time complexity is bounded by O($n^2m^3$). Hence, we provide a proof of $P$ = $\textit{NP}$.
