Social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. American Government is based of this

Thomas Hobbes and John Locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

Government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in Hobbes and Locke.
Hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. While Locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

There are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) Maintain Order by protecting life and property. 2) Providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) Promote Equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.

helpp How are patrician &amp; lower class families similar (Hint: Who is the head of the family?) 6. How are patrician girls &am
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

1. How are patrician and lower class families similar?)) The patricians were any member of a group of citizen families who formed a privileged class in early Rome. The patricians were the wealthy upper class, who owned land and held political power. The plebeians were the working class without substantial wealth. (the head of the family is/were paterfamilias)

2. How are patrician girls and slaves similar/How are Roman women and plebeians similar?))

<em><u>(</u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>woman</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u> </u></em>Roman women had a very limited role in public life. They could not attend, speak in, or vote at political assemblies and they could not hold any position of political responsibility. ... Typical jobs undertaken by such women were in agriculture, markets, crafts, as midwives and as wet-nurses.

<em><u>(</u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>plebe</u></em><em><u>ians</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u>)</u></em> They protected some basic rights of all Roman citizens regardless of their social class. Eventually the plebeians were allowed to elect their own government officials. They elected "tribunes" who represented the plebeians and fought for their rights. They had the power to veto new laws from the Roman senate. (Roman women cannot vote, but plebeians now can. in the early stages of Roman, plebeians had very few rights aswell)

3. How does the social class impact the type of food eaten?)) In contemporary Western society, social class differences in food consumption follow a general pattern. Upper class groups consume foods that signify exclusivity and access to rare goods; while lower class groups, on the other hand, consume foods that are readily available.
