The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
On April 25, 1836, General Sam Houston, commander-in-chief of the Texan Army, wrote his official report about the Battle of San Jacinto, close to Houston, Texas.
The report was addressed to D.G. Burnett, President of the Republic of Texas.
According to the report, 630 Mexican soldiers died in the battle, 208 were wounded and 730 captured.
This official Houston report can be found in the Archives of the State Library in Austin, Texas.
On April 21, 1836, the Texan troops led by General Sam Houston defeated the Mexican troops led by General Antonio López de Santana.
The correct answer is negative population growth
This is actually completely opposite of what's happening, they have a positive population growth. Deforestation is a huge problem in areas such as Brazil for example, while water shortages and pollution are problematic in places where industry is developing or is polluting drinkable water or there is just a lack of water due to droughts.

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.
