D. i, ii, and iii

Explanation:

Equal Pay Act had been voted in 1963. to end the unequal pay between sexes. Men and women should be paid the same for the same amount and quality of work. Since then, the goal of equal pay has not been completely met, but further leaders and members of the government have signed acts and laws to help complete equality.

The Ninth Amendment of the Constitution is ensuring that all people have the fundamental human right that can’t be denied or disparage. It does not list them all, one by one, but it does concern the right to vote, keep personal property, care for health, travel, etc. As such, it has also aided the women in the past and let them refer to it in order to claim equal rights.

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978. has banned any discrimination in the process of hiring, paying, and firing of women on the basis of pregnancy or childbirth. This also includes health benefits and sick leave for women who faced abortion.

It can be concluded that all of these regulations and acts have helped women’s fight for equality and aided the status of women in US society.

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 suffrage
