Answer and Explanation:

The goal of the welfare reform act is to reduce the number of individuals that are dependent on government for sustenance.

On August 22, 1996, President Clinton signed into law "The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996". The law stipulated that people could receive no more than five years of government benefits in a lifetime. The law required a certain population of welfare recipients to be working and others who could not get a job to participate in community service. Recipients who did not belong to any of these two categories would be stopped from enjoying any welfare assistance.

The program was targeted at promoting the work culture among the Americans. Transiting from a totally welfare based system to a work based system. This welfare reform forced some poor Americans to find work to do and stopped being dependent on the government while some who could not get work or who are not educated enough to get involved in community services remained in poverty. The only flaw of this reform was that it did not find work for these people, it only made it a requirement to benefit from the welfare system,

Article II. Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every power, jurisdiction and right, which is not
Maslowich

Answer:

<em>The Social Contract principle states that man was naturally free, and lived without rules or order, but in order to protect their rights and properties government was created.</em> Under the Social Contract theory, government is only valid with the consent of people. This principle inspired the Founding Fathers and can be found under the Articles of Confederation and the Declaration of Independence.

<u>Thomas Jefferson reflected the Social Contract theory into the Declaration of Independence by stating that Britain's Crown had not fulfilled their duties as Government of the Colonies and that this was cause of separation. </u>(<em>"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"</em>).

The Articles of Confederation reflected the Social Contract theory by <em>maintaining the sovereignty of states (Article I) </em>and creating a union where each state gave consent to the central government to use its power. <em>The idea of Article II that nine states had to agree so that the central government could act, is also a reflection of the social contract. </em>
