Question

multi select - choose two correct answers.
select the statements that are correct examples of the social contract between citizens and their government.
a citizens pay taxes in order to receive updated roads and bridges.
b political candidates have debates in order to gain voters.
c citizens follow laws created by the government to protect us and accept punishment if they break the law.

Explanation:

• For option A: The social contract involves citizens giving (like paying taxes) and the government providing services (like updated infrastructure). So this is a correct example.
• For option B: Political candidates debating to gain voters is about election campaigns, not the social contract between citizens and government.
• For option C: Citizens following laws (their part of the contract) and the government protecting (its part) with punishment for law - breaking fits the social contract idea.

Answer:

A. Citizens pay taxes in order to receive updated roads and bridges.
C. Citizens follow laws created by the government to protect us and accept punishment if they break the law.
