Answer:

Social contract theory

Explanation:

This relates to Locke's social contract theory, in which the governed give up some of the rights that they would have had in the state of nature (anarchy) for the protection provided by the government. The people agree to give up their power to the government, and the government agrees to not misuse that power and to rule fairly. If the government becomes corrupt, the people, under the social contract theory, can overthrow the current government and establish a new one.

How did the United States respond to Iraqi aggression?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990. In response to this aggression, the United States, along with a coalition of allied countries, started the Gulf War against Saddam Hussein's regime.

Explanation:

The Gulf War began when Iraq under Saddam Hussein captured neighboring Kuwait to secure oil supplies in August 1990. This meant that the UN intervened and that the United States, with President George H.W. Bush at the helm, with military force, defeated the Iraqi forces after a lengthy and preliminary bombing campaign from the air, which began on January 17, 1991. The American losses were historically few for a land war, while the Iraqi ones were significant.
