Answer:

John Brown

Explanation:

John Brown was a famous American abolitionist, who believed in armed insurrection as the only way to overthrow slavery in the United States. His efforts to end slave labor increased the tension between the North and the South during the period leading up to the American Civil War.

On October 16, 1859, supported by North abolitionists, Brown planned to create liberated zones in the hills of the western part of Virginia and with 20 of his followers he assaulted and took the federal arsenal of Harpers Ferry (present West Virginia) and He made control of the city. His group was surrounded by an Army company under the command of Colonel Robert E. Lee. Ten Brown men, including two of his sons, died in the ensuing battle, and he was wounded and forced to surrender. He was arrested and charged with treason and murder, executed on December 2, 1859, in Charles Town, West Virginia (then Virginia), thus becoming a martyr for the abolitionist cause for some, and an extremist for others.

Answer:

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. 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.

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. ("Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed").

The Articles of Confederation reflected the Social Contract theory by maintaining the sovereignty of states (Article I) and creating a union where each state gave consent to the central government to use its power. 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.
