History

VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite, it began what became known as the Space Race. Shortly after, the U.S. also launched its first satellite, Explorer I, in January 1958. The two nations competed with each other in order to be the first to send a human to the moon. Americans felt the need to compete in order to show that they were more technologically advanced. This increasing competition and tensions between these superpowers was the result of the Cold War, an indirect confrontation between the U.S. and Soviet Union to contain their rival's ideologies.

Under the social contract theory how do leaders gain the right to rule
jok3333 [9.3K]

By the consent of the people over whom they rule.

The "social contract" refers to an implicit agreement between a government and the citizens of the society overseen by that government.   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.
