Harry Truman, before becoming President, was a shopkeeper in Kansas, then he worked as farmer and was an army officer in World War I.

Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) was the 33rd president of the United States from 1945 to 1953.

After graduating from Independence High School in 1901, Truman worked as a timekeeper at the Santa Fe railroad station, subsequently working on a series of local jobs. He worked briefly in the mail room of Kansas City. He returned to his family farm in Grandview in 1906 and remained there until 1917, when he entered military service. The physically demanding work that was put on the Grandview farm was a formative experience.

During the First World War, Truman was an artillery officer, becoming the only president of the country to fight in that war (his successor, Eisenhower, only trained teams of gunners in Pennsylvania).

John Locke believed there was a social contract between a government and its people. What were the details of this contract?

mina [271]

Answer:

The answer is letter A. Citizens should agree to obey their government as long as the government protected their natural rights.

Explanation:

John Locke was an influential philosopher, political theorist and physician of the 17th century. He was known for his "Social Contract theory" which states that the citizens in the country can stop following or obeying their government if it fails to secure the people's natural rights. His theory supported the state or people, rather than the government.

He also focused on the people's natural rights by saying that the people have the right to overthrow the government, when the need arises. It also means that the government cannot have an absolute control over the people. They have to do their obligations to the citizens, so that the citizens will also do their obligations to the government.
