History

Vlad1618 [11]3 years ago
3 0

Hobbes's version of the social contract gives absolute power to a sovereign because (D.) only the sovereign is capable of protecting people from the state of nature.

Hobbes, who was a Royalist, rejected the theory that supported the divine hereditary right of kings; however,<u> he did believe in the sovereign's unlimited power</u>. According to him, <u>only one leader was capable of protecting the state of nature, essentially characterized by war, by achieving his purpose: avoiding self-destruction and establishing peace.</u> Furthermore, unlike Locke, Hobbes believed that the social contract was non-terminable and non-renewable.

The Constitution spells out_______ -those powers that belong to the federal government alone. What goes in the blank??
svlad2 [7]
<h2>"Expressed powers" or "enumerated powers."</h2>

Enumerated powers are those powers specifically granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.

Enumerated powers include such things as the power to coin/print money, the power to establish and impose tariffs, and the power to regulated trade with foreign nations and trade/commerce between states.

Strict constructionists and loose constructionists differ over whether the government's powers should be limited to those specifically enumerated powers.  Strict constructionists read the Constitution as giving the federal government only those specifically delegated powers.  Loose constructionists argue that anything not specifically forbidden by the constitution can be within the window of what the government needs to do in adapting to the needs of time and circumstances.
