Answer from: griffinadrianne946

Citizens should agree to obey their government as long as the government protected their natural rights

Explanation: The social contract, according to Locke, provided that the citizens would obey the government, as long as that government worked to exercise the natural rights of the citizens. The mere fact that such a government is elected by will of the majority, provided that the government protects the inherent natural rights of the citizens, means that the moment the government ceases to do so, it can be replaced.

That is why citizens are obliged to obey the law and the government, as long as it works in their interest, not to neglect the government and look at their own interests, because in the case of a government that cares about citizens, those same citizens have a duty to respect the government.

All this again implies the exclusion of any authoritarian government, an unscrupulous government that itself determines what citizens need and what don't. It also excludes any authority on the principles divine mandate.

Supreme court. jim, who is a bit eccentric, says that he is fed up with the way a certain employer in his town treats employees and that he is going to sue that employer in an effort to improve matters. jim also says that he is going to start his case at the appellate court level, skipping over all those "lesser" judges. jim says that those justices will surely hear him out and that he will also seek a jury. although he is not a lawyer, jim believes that the offenses of the employer are so severe that the justices will appreciate his attempt to make things better for the employees involved. will jim get a jury at the appellate court level?
