8 0

On March 19, 1920, the United States Senate rejected for the second time the Treaty of Versailles, by a vote of 49-35, falling seven votes short of a two-thirds majority needed for approval.

The Treaty of Versailles was a formal peace treaty between the World War I Allies and Germany. The leaders of the “Big Four” Allies (Britain, France, Italy and the United States) met in Paris in early 1919 to draft the treaty. President Woodrow Wilson presented his Fourteen Points, a series of measures intended to ensure future peace. The points included the formation of an international organization known as the League of Nations (similar to the modern United Nations), which was adopted in the treaty.

Identify three documents on the timeline that are examples of social contract

Serggg [28]

So a social contract is where a "persons' moral and/or political obligations are dependent upon a contract or agreement among them to form the society in which they live".
Rousseau was most famous for coming up with the term but examples have always existed and exist right now.

An example of how a social contract works would be the legal system. For augments sake, if I say you stole all my money and you deny it, instead of fighting it out with fists or me raiding your house to find it with a gun, we both put our faith in the legal system which we both agree will be more impartial, and get to the truth. I surrender my right to take matters into my own hands on the condition that you will also do the same. Why did we do this? Because there are more benefits than not having this system in place. I may not be able to get personal revenge on you for stealing my money but I also am protected from people doing the same to me. People who are born in a state metaphorically "sign" the contract when they are born in order to live in the state.

A primitive example if you want would be that two people meet in the woods looking for berries. Both have guns and are distrustful of the other. They are constantly looking over their shoulders at each other out of fear which prevents them from going about their berry gathering. Eventually they both agree to a "contract" that they will both give up their guns at the same time. They do this because whilst you do not want to give up your gun, it means that you don't have to worry about getting shot in the back so times are more productive.
The theory is the same even if people disagree on why social contracts exist. Folk like Rousseau thought that social contracts arose because at the end of the day, humans are more interested in personal liberty and life and wish to avoid conflict as much as possible. More pessimistic people like Hobbes thought it was because humans are so naturally warlike that we needed social contracts to prevent our own violent natures.

What role did the French play in helping lead to the British defeat at Yorktown? Question 4 options: They surprised the British

Anton [14]

Answer:

<h2>The French fleet destroyed part of the British fleet and drove away the rest of the British ships trapping the British at Yorktown</h2>

Explanation:

Battle of Yorktown was the last major battle of the American Revolution. It was important because the British government began to consider a peace treaty during the battle and later surrendered.

American General Nathanael Greene used new tactics and it caused the British soldiers to retreat in the south. The British retreated to Yorktown under General Charles Charles Cornwallis while General George Washington marched from the north. The French navy also defeated the British Navy and it started to move towards Yorktown.

French and Americans armies outnumbered the British soldiers and surrounded the British Army at Yorktown.They bombarded Yorktown for eleven days. The British General Cornwallis signed the surrender document on October 19, 1781 and it was called Articles of Capitulation.
