Answer: B. Parens Patriae
Explanation:
PARENS PATRIAE which is Latin for PARENT OF THE FATHERLAND (COUNTRY) in law refers to the public power that the state has to intervene in the affairs of an incompetent or abusive legal guardian, parent or caretaker in their duties to a child and to act as the parent of any child in need of protection.
The State is able to do this in its role as the SUPREME GUARDIAN of all children in its jurisdiction.
The correct answer is B) Peace.
The Social Contract theory revolves around an agreement between the citizens and the government. In this agreement, citizens agree to give up some of their freedoms and limit their abilities as to what they can do in society. In return, the government offers to respond to the needs of the people. This type of agreement in which citizens are willingly giving up some of their freedoms in order to abide by laws made by the government, helps to create a more peaceful society. The rules and consequences developed by the government helps to maintain order and helps to keep citizens safe.
Paragraph:
"take a stand and tell what you think has been the most important change to the citizenship laws in the United States. Why did you choose this?"
After studying this timeline, I have several mixed emotions towards all the changes and extents in which some of these citizenship laws have targeted. Though there is much to uncover here, truly there is only one that I feel is the most important, beneficial, and altering change that has occurred. In 1952, the U.S congress made a change to their laws, stating that "citizenship cannot be denied because of race or gender." This has been one of our nation's greatest decisions and I'm sure that many people can agree it was very necessary for our thriving population. This law ensures that a person's citizenship cannot be disregarded in terms of race or gender, giving everyone their full potential in our society.
You can edit this and what not I hope this helps and it wasn't sent in too late!
Here is information for both perspectives:
Federalists
I would support the federalists because they believed in a strong central government that would help to unite the states. Along with this, the creation of a new stronger federal government would help to solve the problems America faced under its first constitution, the Articles of Confederation. Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government could not tax or even raise an army. With the new US Constitution, the federal government would have these necessary powers in order to ensure safety within American society.
Anti-Federalists
I would support the Anti-Federalists because they were advocates of states rights. Along with this, the Anti-Federalists knew that a central government with too much power could very easily result in a monarchy, much like the one the United States experienced when controlled by Great Britain.
