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.

Ugo [173]
Many people who immigrated to the United States during the Gilded Age moved to the coasts of the United States. It really depended on where you were from, so if you were of European origin, you most likely migrated to the eastern coast, but if you were of Chinese origin, you most likely migrated to the western coasts. It was just based on what was the closest shore by boat.
