Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

If the government agrees on to a deal that says they will protect the natural rights of the citizens, and that the citizens have to listen to their leaders and abide by laws, that is called a social contract.

Social contracts are usually used to settle tensions between the citizens and the government, when the government realizes they did something wrong, and something needs to change.

Social contracts can also be used when a new government is established. This along with a strong set of laws can create something new. The answer to the question is B.

Answer 2

B
