Answer:

John Locke essentially believed in and helped to develope what is now known as the "Social Contract Theory". (This wasn't an actual written agreement, it was more of an unspoken rule.)

The whole idea behind the Social Contract Theory is that people are expected to give up some of their natural rights, and in return they receive protection and other privileges from the government. Another benefit to this idea, was that if the government were to ever get too powerful and fail to protect the people's rights, since it's an agreement between the government and the people, the people have all the right to overthrow that government. In the declaration of independence people also have similar rights, that are listed there for us to protect us.

The Progressive Movement was a political alliance formed by the Mexican political parties of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), Labor (PT) and Citizen Movement, built around the candidacy of the then PRD and former head of Government of the Federal District Andrés Manuel López Obrador , to compete in the federal elections in Mexico in 2012. This union was also used for candidates for the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies in different states, as well as candidates for governorships in the same elections of the same year.

The Progressive Era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the United States, spanning from the 1890s to the 1920s.

The main objectives of the progressive movement were to eliminate the problems caused by industrialization, urbanization processes, immigration and political corruption.
