C. sharing the responsibility for government debt reduction.


When Clinton took office as president in 1993, the government needed to balance its budget, just as a business would do. Under the Clinton administration, tax rates were raised to increase revenue. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (also known as the Deficit Reduction Act) raised the top income tax rate from 28 percent to 36 percent persons with income above $115,000, and to 39.6 percent for persons with income above $250,000. It increased the corporate income tax rates and ended some corporate subsidies.


Government spending was cut also by reforming welfare. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 pushed for welfare recipients to seek employment, and limited the total time they could receive benefits to five years.


Ultimately, Clinton's economic policies paid off. The government's budget deficit dropped from $290 billion to a budget surplus of $128 billion.

Alik [6]

Answer:

The third sentence is a clear example of the concept of social contract.

Explanation:

The idea of social contract became important during the Enlightenment because it established that the power lies in the people and not in the figurehead of government.  The French writer Rousseau is one of the Enlightenment thinkers that popularized the term.  This concept goes on to explain that if the government is not serving its people and is not acting in the people's best interest, then the people have the right to remove it and place a new government in its place.  This can clearly be seen in the third sentence.
