Naddik [55]4 years ago

Hobbes is a good example of the old way of thinking about social contracts and Locke had more modern ideas. Hobbes, having lived through various horrible periods of English history was very pessimistic. He believed people were inherently evil and that the social contract between them and the monarch should be lifelong labor in exchange for protection. As a result, Hobbes believed people had no given rights upon birth. Locke had a very different view than Hobbes and reflected much more modern enlightenment thinking. He believed that the government should be a democracy, and should guarantee unalienable rights to citizens.

Why do you think the United States put a limit on the number of immigrants who may enter the country?
eimsori [14]
Immigration law is very complex, and there is much confusion as to how it works. The Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), the body of law governing current immigration policy, provides for an annual worldwide limit of 675,000 permanent immigrants, with certain exceptions for close family members. Lawful permanent residency allows a foreign national to work and live lawfully and permanently in the United States. Lawful permanent residents (LPRs) are eligible to apply for nearly all jobs (i.e., jobs not legitimately restricted to U.S. citizens) and can remain in the country even if they are unemployed. Each year the United States also admits noncitizens on a temporary basis. Annually, Congress and the President determine a separate number for refugee admissions.
