"Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacke

d by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

read the quote by thomas hobbes. law was brought into the world for nothing else but to limit the natural liberty of particular
Elena-2011 [213]

The primary purpose of the social contract was to reduce liberty.

<h3>What is Contract?</h3>

A "contract" is defined as a legally enforceable agreement between two parties. It is a promise made by the promisor to the promisee to complete the contract's terms.

According to the quotation, a person's inherent liberty was limited in order to not injure another person and to build a peaceful atmosphere by assisting one another.

Therefore, it can be concluded, reduction of the liberty is the main purpose of Thomas Hobbes.
