Explanation:

In the 1988 US presidential election, Bush launched a successful campaign to succeed Reagan as president, defeating his Democratic opponent, Michael Dukakis. International politics was one of the main pillars during the Bush presidency; military operations were carried out in Panama and in the Persian Gulf while the world was changing; the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolved two years later. Internally, Bush failed to fulfill one of his promises, specifically, that of not creating new types of taxes and after a fight with Congress, he signed an increase in taxes that Congress finally approved. In the wake of economic concerns, he lost the 1992 election against Bill Clinton.

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.
