Hey there! I'm happy to help!

John Locke's philosophies were very influential on the ideas of the Founding Fathers of America.

Locke talks a lot about perfect freedom. He said that we are born being able to do whatever we want, but there are a few important conditions. So, a person technically is free to go around slapping people on the street, correct?

Well, yes you technically do that. Why do people not do that though? Well, they don't give up that freedom because they are comfortable, safe, or living in a peaceful society. Lots of people might feel unsafe in a country, but they don't go around slapping people on the street, so D and B are incorrect.

C. is incorrect as well because the government doesn't say "don't go around hurting people and then we'll recruit you!" It's silly!

The correct answer is A) for the benefit and protection of society. You choose go around slapping people because you don't want people to hate you. You do it so that your neighbors are safe. That's why we pay taxes: to benefit society, which ultimately includes us. This is a principle found in American society today, and many America's core values stem for Locke's philosophies.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

2. What role did slavery play in establishing racism in America?
mariarad [96]

Answer: The history of the Electoral College is receiving a lot of attention. Pieces like this one, which explores “the electoral college and its racist roots,” remind us how deeply race is woven into the very fabric of our government. A deeper examination, however, reveals an important distinction between the political interests of slaveholders and the broader category of the thing we call “race.”

“Race” was indeed a critical factor in the establishment of the Constitution. At the time of the founding, slavery was legal in every state in the Union. People of African descent were as important in building northern cities such as New York as they were in producing the cash crops on which the southern economy depended. So we should make no mistake about the pervasive role of race in the conflicts and compromises that went into the drafting of the Constitution.

Yet, the political conflicts surrounding race at the time of the founding had little to do with debating African-descended peoples’ claim to humanity, let alone equality. It is true that many of the Founders worried about the persistence of slavery in a nation supposedly dedicated to universal human liberty.  After all, it was difficult to argue that natural rights justified treason against a king without acknowledging slaves’ even stronger claim to freedom. Thomas Jefferson himself famously worried that in the event of slave rebellion, a just deity would side with the enslaved.
