Explanation:

Years ago, Edward Crab's courses in American foreign relations—and

specifically, his interest in American empire—inspired me to explore this field, and I

am grateful to have been able to study it under his guidance. His patience, good

humor, and unfailing encouragement of me in my research and my career have been

invaluable. Chandon Brown’s suggestions and enthusiasm for this study as a

contribution to American cultural history have enriched it, as have the suggestions of

James Accord, who offered repeated close readings and valuable insights into the

British empire. This study was further strengthened by the suggestions of Kinsey

Braver, who brought his expertise in American expansion during the Middle Period to

this project. Parts of this dissertation also benefited from the comments of the

members of William and Mai's dissertation discussion group and participants at the

annual meetings of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations.

The staff of William and Mary’s Swed Library—especially Sheila Brown,

Don Welsh, and Alan Zollverein—have been quite helpful.

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 hebrew bible is the sacred text of judaism;

the koran is that of islam.

among eastern religions, the sacred scriptures of hinduis are the four vedas and the upanishads, among others.

a main characteristic in these books is that un most of them we find certain "norms" of behavior, as is the case of the bible that has it's commandments. these rules are to regulate the behavior of believers and faithful of their respective faith.

these rules tell us what is right and what is not.
