This passage best exemplifies the concept of a social contract.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation :</u>

Mayflower Compact was a covenant entered into by the English settlers providing for the rules of self-government when they made their journey to the New World by ship named as Mayflower. This compact was signed by 41 male colonists which included two servants on the 11th November, 1620.

This covenant had laid the cornerstone for the U.S. Constitution. This compact essentially enshrines the theory of social contract which implies that there is either hypothetical or actual contract between the subjects and the ruler and also enumerates the rights as well as duties of every party to the contract.

Whom should Mrs. Hightower sue for damages? Mr.Grant Why?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Money damages are awarded by the court to make defendants pay you money to make up for harm you suffered in the past. Punitive damages may be awarded to punish defendants for especially bad conduct.

An injunction is a court order that directs prison officials to make changes in your prison conditions and/or stop ongoing conduct that the court finds to be illegal.

A declaratory judgment is when a court makes a decision that explains your legal rights and the legal duties and obligations of the prison officials. However, the court doesn’t order the prison to do or stop doing anything. If you get a declaratory judgment and the prison doesn’t follow it, you can then ask the court for an injunction to make them do so.

Bad White [126]

Answer: The first prison was made or found in 1790 by the Pennsylvanian Quakers. They wanted something that was less cruel and brutal than the dungeon prisons and jails, so they created a place where prisoners could read scriptures and repent thinking that this would reform prisoners.
