History

Troyanec [42]3 years ago

Allan Bakke had been the subject of a case involving <u>“reverse discrimination” </u>during the carter administration.  

In 1978 Allan Bakke applied for admission at medical school and it was declined twice by the University of California, so Bakke filed a suit against the University arguing that he had better scores than the minority groups that were granted access.

At that time, the university had reserved a quota of 16%, as part of affirmative action program, to minority groups. Affirmative action program was designed to provide better educational and employment opportunities to those groups.

In this legal case, Bakke claimed that the use of quota based on race was unfair “reverse discrimination” as according the Civil Right Act, equal protection should be given to all citizens. The Supreme Court, in a highly controversial case, ordered that the university should admit Bakke and declared that affirmative action was constitutional but could not be used in cases of race quotas.

Based on what you have read, explain the key differences in the views of Hobbes and Locke on the social contract. Write two to t
Aleksandr [31]
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.
