Birmingham, Alabama . United States
Dear Grandmother,
We miss you and send you our love. Life here is very hard. This winter the snow was 6 feet deep and didn't finally melt until May. It was terribly cold. Even with a roaring fire we all slept under six blankets and still felt the cold. We ran out of feed and had to slaughter our horse. I don't know how we'll get rid of the stumps on the newly cleared land.
Bartholomew, Rachel and little William all died from measles in December. A week ago Eleanor broke her leg and can't walk at all. There are no doctors here; I fear her leg will make her deformed. The parson says God is punishing us for our sins. But Alice and I go to church three times a week and pray constantly. I don't know what sins God is punishing us for.
Love: (your name)
The correct answer is:
The social contract theory.
Explanation:
<u>The Declaration of Independence (first written by Thomas Jefferson), had as main purpose to state that the 13 colonies now independent from Britain and to explain why that separation was needed.</u> Under the reasons the Founding Fathers gave, the most compatible political theory is the Social Contract Theory.
The Social Contract Theory states that humankind lived without rules or laws but to establish order and to protect their rights and property they made two agreements,<em> the first one is to respect each other and the second one to obey and trust the government, </em>as long as the government provides protection of their rights, property and freedom.
Under the Declaration of Independence, there is a passage that explains that Britain failed to protect the rights, freedom and property of the Colonists, and that they were entitled the right to create a new Government, this passage was inspired by Thomas Jefferson's interpretation of John Locke's point of view in the Social Contract Theory.
- <em>"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government". - Declaration of Independence. </em>
