By the consent of the people over whom they rule.
The "social contract" refers to an implicit agreement between a government and the citizens of the society overseen by that government. Philosophers of the Enlightenment era were famous for arguing the idea of a "social contract." According to this view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. One of the most influential of the social contract theorists was John Locke, who repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government.</em> In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>, Locke then argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting and enhancing their own life, liberty, and property.
Confirmation bias happened when a personal belief and desire are directly influenced. It is something like that when p[people want to confirm that it is true and they believing it that it is confirmed true.

A huge part of it had to deal with the way that the French government dealt with debt.
<span>Only their third estate, primarily poor merchants and peasants, paid any taxes. The French largely funded the American Revolution because of their long-standing animosity with Great Britain. However, the debt they incurred was only slowly paid off because the people they were taxing had very little money. The country fell into an economic crisis and resentment began to build against the first and second estates--the weathly, title-holder, landed gentry and clergy. Thus the revolution. </span>
<span>A good comparison is Great Britain post-America Revolution, who taxed their citizens more fairly and avoided revolution by not throwing most of their citizens into the desperate straits of poverty.</span>
<span>The Great Awakening is a period of religious awakening and reform that began in the 1800s. It was a spiritual renewal that swept the American Colonies, particularly New England. It sought to use the basis of religion to revive faith in members of the congregation and bring about social reforms.
Its main ideas include:
· The belief that every person could be saved through revivals
· The belief that Christ would return to earth after the "millennium" and the purification of society in preparation for that return.</span>
