<em>This refers to the rebounding aspect of social contract -- on the government's behalf of course -- in which the citizens have the power to overthrow or replace a government if it misuses its powers, breaking the social contract.</em>
<em>This quote in particular states that it is the government's duty to protect the rights of the people -- rather than taking advantage of the people.</em>
The answer is:
- Some civil rights pertain to discrimination by private citizens.
- Some civil rights pertain to discrimination by government.
- Private discrimination can become unlawful only if a legislature passes a law making the discrimination unlawful.
For example, the civil rights that are pertain to discrimination by private citizens is the equal employment act, which banned the private sectors from rejecting employment application based on gender, race, and religion. The civil rights act of 1964 was pertain to discrimination made in jim crow laws (which initiated by the government) .
