C) Driving on the highway,  I just took a quiz on this.  The reasoning is that the government created the highways.  Citizens may use these highways if they follow the rules given by the government.

Correct answer: c) driving on the highway.

Traffic laws are established by the government, and roads and highways are built by governments (local, state and federal). We obey traffic laws in an understood agreement with the government that establishes and maintains the road system.  The "social contract" refers to an implicit agreement between a government and the citizens of the society overseen by that government.  Examples that have to do with business exchanges--such as paying an electric bill in exchange for electricity usage--are examples of business contracts rather than "the social contract."

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.

As a result of the collapse of roman rule in 476, what did western Europe experience ?
gregori [183]

<span>The </span>Fall of the Western Roman Empire<span> (commonly known as </span>Fall of the Roman Empire<span> or </span>Fall of Rome) was the period of decline in the Western Roman Empire in which it disintegrated and split into numerous successor states. By 476 CE, when Odoacer deposed the Emperor Romulus, the Western Roman Empire wielded negligible military, political, or financial power and had no effective control over the scattered Western domains that could still be described as Roman. Invading "barbarians" had established their own polities on most of the area of the Western Empire. While its legitimacy lasted for centuries longer and its cultural influence remains today, the Western Empire never had the strength to rise again.
