The options are the following:

People rule through their elected representatives.

People run the state by exerting their will.

People support the government in exchange for rights and protection.

Answer:

<u>People support the government in exchange for rights and protection.</u>

Explanation:

A social contract, as developed by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, is an agreement between a group of people and their ruler, in which all individuals cede their natural rights (such as life, liberty, and property) to an absolute government in exchange for rights and protection. Under such agreement, the government has the duty to maintain peace, resolve conflicts, protect people, and establish a civil society.

Answer:

hope this is right and helpful

Explanation:

The "Clovis first theory" refers to the 1950s hypothesis that the Clovis culture represents the earliest human presence in the Americas, beginning about 13,000 years ago; evidence of pre-Clovis cultures has accumulated since 2000, pushing back the possible date of the first peopling of the Americas to 33,000 years ago.
