A social contract is an agreement between <u>the ruled and their rulers or the government and the people.</u>
In political philosophy the concept of the social contract was first fully developed by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes in his book named "Leviathan: The Matter, Form, and Power of a Commonwealth, Ecclesiastical and Civil" (1651).
The author defined a social contract as an agreement between the ruled and their rulers, in which all individuals in a society cede their natural rights (life, liberty, property, etc.) to an absolute government, even meaning that individuals would have to accept abuses of power. Through the contract people could live better and maintain peace, receive protection and avoid conflict by the establishment of a civil society.
<u>Answer:</u>
the significance of Greenwood being nicknamed “The Black Wall Street” as B) it signified the financial success of the area
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the early 20th century, the present-day Greenwood Avenue was known as the Black Wall Street for its thriving economy, wholly propelled by the African American community. Under the Dawes Act, 1887 many African-Americans who were former slaves of tribes acquired land in this area. Others migrated to this area, which was now considered a haven for the black community, to escape racial oppression.
OW Gurley and JB Stradford are mainly credited to kick start the economic development of this place. Schools, hotels, furriers, posh restaurants, a library and other establishments of prosperity marked the streets of Greenwood.
New businesses cropped up with assistance from the affluent black community. This ensured that the money so created circulated first within the community. This made Greenwood entirely self-contained, reliant and an economic powerhouse and thus the name- Black Wall Street.
