<em>So here's how it reads as a paragraph:</em>
When Lincoln was first elected president, he hoped to prevent war by allowing slavery in the United States. As time went on, he saw the purpose of the war as putting an end to slavery. Once the Civil War was over, President Lincoln did not intend to punish the South. He felt everyone had suffered enough. He wanted to help the South, and the whole country, rebuild. The process of rebuilding the country following the Civil War was called Reconstruction. The official surrender by General Lee to General Grant occurred at Appomattox Court House, and the terms were generous to the South. The terms of surrender said that the Southern soldiers could go home and would not be prosecuted for treason. It also said that they must surrender their guns, but could keep their horses. Officers were allowed to keep their sidearms. In order to make the achievements of the war permanent, three amendments were added to the U.S. Constitution.
By the 1890's Americans were sick and tired of their 1870 and prior image of being just backwoods farmers staying at home from the world. Americans in the 1890's were conscious of the great power of American industry, wealth, inventions, natural resources and wanted to take their place among the great powers of the world. They were aware of all the great progress America had made in every field.
<span>A new political movement the progressives wanted even more progress and aimed at the future to make America 'great'. This was the motivation for the new foreign policy. Examples: kicking Spain out and taking Cuba,(1898), buying Panama and building the American Panama Canal there (1904). President Theodore Roosevelt building the 1st mighty US Navy (1901-1909).</span>
The reason why people take an oath to support the Constitution instead of the country or the President is because the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, have has power even over the present himself. It is not required that every American take this oath--it is a personal choice. <span />

Answer:
The third sentence is a clear example of the concept of social contract.
Explanation:
The idea of social contract became important during the Enlightenment because it established that the power lies in the people and not in the figurehead of government. The French writer Rousseau is one of the Enlightenment thinkers that popularized the term. This concept goes on to explain that if the government is not serving its people and is not acting in the people's best interest, then the people have the right to remove it and place a new government in its place. This can clearly be seen in the third sentence.
