Answer:
4. A) They feared debt-ridden farmers would rebel.
5. D) a two-house Congress with equal representation in the upper house and representation in the lower house based on population.
Explanation:
After the American Revolution, farmers in Massachusetts launched Shay's Rebellion in response to perceived government neglect and the way the debt they were in was being settled by creditors.
The Federal Government was powerless to quell this rebellion because the Articles of Confederation gave them limited powers. They ended up having to rely on state militia. This showed states that a stronger Federal Government was needed.
The Great Compromise came about as states argued about the composition of the Legislature. Some wanted equal representation and others wanted representation based on population.
They then agreed to have two houses: The Senate (Upper house) which would have equal representation and the House of Representatives (Lower house) where representation was based on population.

Correct answer: Social Contract theory (economic form)
Roads and highways are built by governments (local, state and federal), and we support road building and repairs through taxes we pay. This is an economic social contract. The "social contract" refers to an implicit agreement between a government and the citizens of the society overseen by that government.
Philosophers of the Enlightenment era were famous for arguing the idea of a "social contract." According to this view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. One of the most influential of the social contract theorists was John Locke, who repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government.</em> In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>, Locke then argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting and enhancing their own life, liberty, and property. Preserving and enhancing roads and infrastructure, supported by taxes paid, is an example of this sort of economic agreement within the social contract under which we live.
The 2003 Texas redistricting refers to a controversial mid-decade congressional redistricting plan. In the 2004 elections, it resulted in the Republicans taking a majority of Texas's House seats for the first time since Reconstruction. Opponents challenged the plan in three suits, combined when the case went to the United States Supreme Court in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry.
On June 28, 2006, the Supreme Court upheld the statewide redistricting as constitutional, with the exception of Texas' 23rd congressional district, which it held was racially gerrymandered in violation of Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, apparently to try to protect a Hispanic Republican representative. A three-judge Federal District Court redrew District 23 and four other nearby districts: 15, 21, 25, and 28. In November 2006, a special election was held in the new districts, with all incumbents winning except in District 23. There, Republican incumbent Henry Bonilla was forced into a December run-off which he lost to Democratic challenger Ciro Rodriguez. I hope this helps!
