Based on choices I've seen elsewhere for this question, the answer is likely:  Observing traffic laws in exchange for driving on the highway.

Traffic laws are established by the government, and roads and highways are built by governments (local, state and federal).  The "social contract" refers to an implicit agreement between a government and the citizens of the society overseen by that government.  Examples that have to do with business exchanges--such as paying an electric bill in exchange for electricity usage--are examples of business contracts rather than "the social contract."

Philosophers of the Enlightenment era were famous for arguing the idea of a "social contract."  According to this view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  One of the most influential of the social contract theorists was John Locke, who repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government. </em> In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government, </em> Locke then argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting and enhancing their own life, liberty, and property.

Answer: driving on the highway

It is the practice of driving in the highway that can be considered as an indicator of finally accepting social contract. Social contract refers to the agreement wherein individuals in all parties agreed to have a natural transfer of right.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The linear perspective technique was said to be first used by Filippo Brunelleschi during the Renaissance period. The distinct characteristic of this technique is creating an illusion of depth in an otherwise flat painting or drawing. Like that shown in the picture, you perceive some things to be nearer or farther away, understanding the context of depth. The answer is

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

v

Explanation:

through the use of quotas, used first in the Soviet Union and later in other socialist states. In the Soviet Union, the first Five-Year Plan (1928–32), implemented by Joseph Stalin, concentrated on developing heavy industry and collectivizing agriculture, at the cost of a drastic fall in consumer goods. The second plan (1933–37) continued the objectives of the first. Collectivization led to terrible famines, especially in the Ukraine, that caused the deaths of millions. The third (1938–42) emphasized the production of armaments. The fourth (1946–53) again stressed heavy industry and military buildup, angering the Western powers. In China, the first Five-Year Plan (1953–57) stressed rapid industrial development, with Soviet assistance; it proved highly successful. Shortly after the second plan began in 1958, the Great Leap Forward was announced; its goals conflicted with the five-year plan, leading to failure and the withdrawal of Soviet aid in 1960.
