The views of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke regarding the social contract are based on the idea of natural law.  Natural law can be described as a universal law that everyone is subject to, regardless of their location.  Both Hobbes and Locke also believed that a government was necessary to establish order and keep the peace.  This is where their differences end.  Starting with the same premise, both philosophers come to very different conclusions about the role of the government in the social contract.  

Thomas Hobbes believed that absolute monarchy was the best form of government because humans were violent by nature.  It was necessary to maintain order and peace, so people must give up their freedom to live obediently under a ruler who would protect them.  According to Hobbes, people do not have the right to rebel against a government who is protecting them, no matter how unjust, because they relinquished their rights in the contract.

John Locke came to a completely different conclusion about the role of government in the contract.  The primary difference between the two men is that Locke trusted human beings.  He believed that people were naturally reasonable and moral, and would do the right thing.  Locke also argued that people are endowed with natural rights of life, liberty, and property.  According to him, the sole purpose of government was to protect these rights, and people have the right to break the contract if the government failed to do this.  In fact, the people are obligated to break the contract.  John Locke's ideas of natural rights was an important influence on Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of Independence.

Hobbes believed that a social contract was necessary to protect people from their own worst instincts. On the other hand, Locke believed that a social contract was necessary to protect people's natural rights. Locke believed that if government did not protect people's rights, they could reject it.

How they were Irish Immigrants being treated during Reconstruction?
Olegator [25]
Avenue
The Conscription Act of 1863 exacerbated tense relationships. This act made all white men between the ages of twenty and forty-five years eligible for the draft by the Union Army. Free African American men were permitted to "volunteer" to fight in the Civil War through the provisions of the Emancipation Proclamation. However, African American men were not drafted or otherwise forced to fight. In addition, white men with money could illegally bribe doctors for medical exemptions, legally hire a substitute, or pay for a commutation of a draft. The less affluent could not afford to pay for deferments. The inequities in draft eligibility between African Americans, monied whites, and working-class whites, of whom many were Irish, increased racial tensions.

Several cities suffered draft riots in which enrollment officers and free African Americans were targeted for violence. The largest such incident began on June 11, 1863, in New York City when more than 100 people were murdered by an angry mob. After burning down a draft office and attacking police officers and well-dressed whites, this mob of white workers, including many Irish Americans, focused its energy on killing African American bystand Avenue
