Assignment

What do you think the best way to describe the United States' social contract is? For example, for Hobbes it is fear, for Locke, it is property, life, and liberty, and for Rousseau, it is life, liberty, and equality.

So what is it for the United States? That is your task. I want you to give some serious thought to this question as your next paper topic will more than likely be on a related topic.

Your project should be no more than 1 (one) page in length and should contain what words you think best describe the United States' social contract and why. Your paper can be hand-written or typed, that is up to you; however, it should, again, be no more than one page including justification.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1 In your estimation, what are two of the fundamental ideas that help compose the American social contract? Defend your answer.

The paper must include the following:

A Discuss what are your two ideas and why you chose them;

B Defense of your ideas must take the form of an argument(s);

C Provide a minimum of four references to support your argument(s) from inclass readings and your own research;

D References must be academic in nature;

E Meet the formatting requirements outlined below.
