History

By the consent of the people over whom they rule.

The "social contract" refers to an implicit agreement between a government and the citizens of the society overseen by that government.   Philosophers of the Enlightenment era were famous for arguing the idea of a "social contract."  According to this view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  One of the most influential of the social contract theorists was John Locke, who repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government.</em>  In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>,  Locke then argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting and enhancing their own life, liberty, and property.

2. How do tourists and tourism affect Central America and the Caribbean?
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

On the positive side, tourism supports local economies because tourists spend money on attractions, lodging, and souvenirs. Also, foreign companies take away part of the money to their own countries and local workers are paid very little.

3.) Hurricanes can cause great damage and keep visitors away. They can harm people and destroy entire towns. They damage roads, farms, schools, and businesses.

4.) Climate is the main factor that affects biodiversity in tropical areas. It creates an environment that allows many different types of species to grow and flourish in these regions. People from other countries are attracted by this biodiversity. They want to come and see and they become eco-tourists.

5.) Ultimately, the environmental impact depends on the production practices of the system used by farmers. Some of the environmental issues that are related to agriculture are climate change, deforestation, dead zones, genetic engineering, irrigation problems, pollutants, soil degradation, and waste. if this is not right forgive me please
