On september 22, 1862, president abraham lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation. his proclamation promised to free african americans still held in slavery on january 1, 1863. lincoln wrote “all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the united states, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” he went on to say that the union government and army would support this freedom. the army would stop returning escaped slaves to their masters. which groups of african americans did lincoln free? a. african americans enslaved in union states. b. african americans enslaved in u. s. territories. c. african americans enslaved in territory the union army had conquered. d. african americans enslaved in territory the union army had no control over.

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality. 

the answer is c. hope this

because it took place after the war of 1812 had come to an end.
