Understanding Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism holds that an action is right if it tends to promote happiness and wrong if it tends to produce sadness, or the reverse of happiness—not just the happiness of the actor but that of everyone affected by it.

According to Locke, what are the
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

John Locke was an English philosopher, economist, and physician of the Enlightenment period. In his views on unwritten natural law as the basis of formal constitutional law, Locke made the social contract the basis of his plea for popular sovereignty, the idea that the monarch or the government should reflect the will of the people. Thus, for Locke, the social contract forms the agreement between the ruler and the people, and it is precisely the limit to the powers and attributions that the ruler has over its citizens.

In the United States, the social contract is embodied in the Constitution, which is the fundamental legal text of the nation that is responsible for recognizing civil rights and limiting the powers of the government.

Select the correct answer.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

C. Double Jeopardy Clause.

Explanation:

The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides a number of rights that a person has dealing with both civil as well as criminal proceedings. This Amendment included the "Self-Incriminatory Clause, Double Jeopardy Clause, and the Due Process Clause" among others.

In the case of Matthew, the Double Jeopardy Clause bars the prosecution from carrying out another trial on Matthew's case for the second time. This clause states that <em>"No person shall . . . be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb . . . . "</em> This means that a person cannot be tried more than once for the same crime.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
