Answer:

This excerpt from the Declaration of Independence is describing the social contract.

Explanation:

The theory of the social contract has been developed since the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries through the works of Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau. The concept of a social contract implies that people partially renounce their sovereign rights in favor of the state in order to ensure their interests through it. A social contract means thereby an agreement reached by citizens on issues of rules and principles of public administration with the corresponding legal registration.

In accordance with the main principle of theories of social contract, a legitimate state body is formed on the basis of forced consent of the governed. The starting point for most of these theories is the study of the conditions of human existence that are absent in the so-called “natural state”, when people themselves follow personal gain. Proceeding from this initial position, supporters of the theory of the social contract explain differently why a rational person, following his personal interest, should voluntarily renounce the freedom that everyone has in a "natural" state.

Alex73 [517]

I'm not righting a paragraph so you can copy it! buy here is a thesis statement. I agree with Daniel Shay's rebellion because it showed how the national all government has the ultimate power, it revealed the weaknesses of the articles of confederation, and showed how much rights we had. we can peacefully protest without causing harm to others.

Can primary sources be biased towards an event?

fredd [130]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Any source in History can be biased. It can be based on personal opinion, pressure, etc.

Let's take an example. Let's say we want to learn more about Hitler, and we have a primary source that we are analysing. The primary source is a diary entry from a Nazi propagandist, and in the diary entry he talks about how Hitler is like a reincarnation of God, he will lead Germany and the world to greatness and is all in all a great guy.

Straight away, you can tell that that is biased.

So to summarise, anything can be biased. It isn't related to what type of source it is. If you want to analyse and interpret sources, you will need to have lots of different primary and secondary sources at hand, and compare them to find the best answer and analysis.

Hope this helps
