nata0808 [166]

John Locke was not of the opinion that b) individuals must enter into a social contract with government.

John Locke came up with a Theory of Social Contract as well as other philosophies in relation to government. He believed that:

Government power needed to be separated into the legislative, judicial and executive branches for it to function well
Government power should be limited to certain roles
The government derived its powers from the willingness of the people to submit

He did not believe that people needed to get into a social contract with the government but rather that they should only do it consensually.

In conclusion, John Locke believed a social contract between government and people was necessary but that it needed to be done willingly.

Which two women were associated with the National Woman’s Suffrage Association?

Alina [70]

Answer:

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony

Explanation:

Formed in 1890, NAWSA was the result of a merger between two rival factions--the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). These opposing groups were organized in the late 1860s, partly as the result of a disagreement over strategy. NWSA favored women's enfranchisement through a federal constitutional amendment, while AWSA believed success could be more easily achieved through state-by-state campaigns. NAWSA combined both of these techniques, securing the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 through a series of well-orchestrated state campaigns under the dynamic direction of Carrie Chapman Catt. With NAWSA's primary goal of women's enfranchisement now a reality, the organization was transformed into the League of Women Voters.
