Which of the selections below was a belief of the founding fathers that mirrored john locke's idea of the social contract? select one: a. the king of england was in violation of natural law b. government can only exist if the people it serves support its existence. c. all men are created equal.

The correct answer is:

B. Government can only exist if the people it serves support its existence.

Explanation:

John Locke's idea of the social contract had a great influence over the Founding Fathers of America, the separation of powers, the idea that all men are created equal and the preamble of the Constitution show a big influence of John Locke towards the United States form of government.

John Locke believed that each individual is born with natural rights such as freedom and the right of property, granted by the state of nature (or God); and that the government's main role is to protect those rights from the desire and will of other's against to take those natural rights.

According to John Locke, a government is necessary to protect freedom from individuals, because if there were no government, no one could protect their natural rights from others. Therefor, government can only exist if the people it serves supports its existence, this is the basic principle of the social contract philosophy of John Locke.

Locke argued that for a government to be legit, the citizens must be willing to delegate rights, such as laws, taxes and the use of violence when needed, so the government can secure their natural rights. Locke also influenced the Founding Fathers with the idea of a limited government with separation of powers to control that the government would limit only to protect those alienable rights and wouldn't become a tyranny. John Locke stated that if a government fails to serve it's purpose, people have the natural right to replace the government.

Note: The idea that all men are created equal is also influence of John Locke, but the main idea of the social contract philosophy that influenced the Founding Fathers is that government can only exist if the people serves its existence.

your answer is

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
