For Lincoln, allowing American democracy to succeed was compatible with the ideal of freedom; allowing secessionists to destroy it (in response to a democratic election) was not. In other words, Lincoln did not believe that true freedom was letting states do their own thing--and letting the pillars of American constitutional democracy run amok--but instead, in maintaining a union where the great experiment of democracy could flourish. As Lincoln himself said quite clearly in the Gettysburg Address, he was committed to making sure "...that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." I suppose you can argue that Lincoln's vision of freedom was not worth the price, but you cannot deny that he had a vision of freedom--and that, for him, this vision was compatible with maintaining the historic, unprecedented political freedom that was achieved in 1776.
Answer: Social contract; A belief that God does not intervene with the laws of the universe
Explanation: A <em>social contract </em>is the Enlightenment idea of an unofficial treaty or agreement between people and the government that exists in democratic societies in some forms today. As one of the Enlightenment philosophers, Rousseau suggested that all people with equal natural and human rights, with whom all were born equal, submit to the protection of these rights to the government and authorise it to be the guarantor of the preservation of those rights.
<em>Deism</em> is the doctrine by which God created the universe and everything in it, the planets, among others the Earth, humans, and then withdrew. He left it to humans, that is, the creation, to govern what was created according to the laws of the nature. From this it can be seen that Deism is one of the starting points of the Enlightenment, because many of the Enlightenment philosophers believed in God but not according to Church teaching, but precisely to the idea that after creation of the world God had withdrawn and left it to people. For this reason, Deism rejects supernatural religious phenomena as is the case with Church teaching, such as Revelation, and advocates ethical behaviour and engagement in the advancement of society, the state, and community.
