Answer:
The correct answer is Social contract.
Explanation:
Social contract is in political philosophy an agreement or theoretical arrangement between the governed and their rulers, which determines the rights and duties of both parties.
According to John Locke (1632-1704) in <em>Two Treatises of Government </em>(1960), described the state of nature as one where the rights of life and property are recognized by natural law and in front of any inconvenience the enforcement of those rights should come into action.
The protagonist of Things Fall Apart<span>, Okonkwo is also considered a tragic hero.
A tragic hero holds a position of power and prestige, chooses his course of action, possesses a tragic flaw, and gains awareness of circumstances that lead to his fall.
Okonkwo's tragic flaw is his fear of weakness and failure.</span>
I believe that the best answer for this question is "are." You are referring to two parties here, both the lion tamer and the clowns. This would mean that your applicable verbs must also be plural. Since "are" is the plural version of "is," it is the most suitable word to use in this situation. Hope this helps.
