Answer:

The third sentence is a clear example of the concept of social contract.

Explanation:

The idea of social contract became important during the Enlightenment because it established that the power lies in the people and not in the figurehead of government.  The French writer Rousseau is one of the Enlightenment thinkers that popularized the term.  This concept goes on to explain that if the government is not serving its people and is not acting in the people's best interest, then the people have the right to remove it and place a new government in its place.  This can clearly be seen in the third sentence.

The main difference between MacArthur's and Truman's strategies in Korea was that:
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Truman supported containment, while MacArthur wanted to use nuclear weapons against the Soviets.

Explanation:

The main difference between MacArthur's and Truman's strategies in Korea was that "Truman supported containment, while MacArthur wanted to use nuclear weapons against the Soviets."

Truman believed that it will be more effective for the United States to use the policy of containment such that instead of going full-blown war against the Soviet Union, the war will be fought in such a way that it will not be direct but still be effective to contain the spread of communism.

On the other hand, MacArthur believed that the United States should be more aggressive and fight the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons and direct-fire combat.
