1. According to Turner, how has the frontier shaped American identity and democracy? 2. Do you agree with Turner? Why or why not? What other factors may have helped to shape American identity and democracy? 3. What does Turner say about American distinctiveness? 4. If the frontier was as important to the American spirit as Turner believed it to be, what does that mean for Americans today (now that the western frontier no longer exists)? Do other frontiers exist for Americans today? Is there still a place/space for "perennial rebirth"? If so, where will/does it take place?

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.
