Read this excerpt from rudyard kipling's poem "the white man's burden" and then answer the question that follows:
take up the white man's burden —
send forth the best ye breed —
go, bind your sons to exile
to serve your captives' need;
to wait, in heavy harness,
on fluttered folk and wild —
your new-caught sullen peoples,
half devil and half child.
take up the white man's burden —
in patience to abide,
to veil the threat of terror
and check the show of pride;
by open speech and simple,
an hundred times made plain,
to seek another's profit
and work another's gain.1

explanation:

he always remember humbleness for other

he was first president born poor

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.
