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.

Restrictions on colonial trade

Explanation:

  • Tensions between the British government and the colonies were further intensified by Britain's policy of mercantilism - economic and trade absolutism by reducing imports and developing domestic production.
  • In addition, King George III (ruled from 1760 to 1820) imposed new taxes on the colonies to pay off debts incurred during the French and Native American War. The American colonists, accustomed to self-rule, fled because of the tyranny of the London government.
  • The first tax that angered the colonists was the Stamp Act of 1765, which taxed all printed matter (legal documents and newspapers). A stamp on a document printed in London indicated that the tax had been paid
  • . The response of the colonists, the strongest in the Boston area, was forceful and spread throughout the colonies.
  • Taxes are oiled with tar and sprinkled with feathers. The British Parliament withdrew that law in 1766, but tried several other ways to collect taxes from the colonists and sent new British soldiers to America to maintain order.
