Other causes the Crusaders began to fight for included: fighting against heretics and fighting against German peasants. Crusaders were participants of the Crusades. The Crusades were a series of military campaigns organized by Christian powers in order to retake Jerusalem and the Holy Land back from Muslim control (religious wars between Christians and Muslims started primarily to secure control of holy sites).

The Crusades set the stage for several religious knightly military orders (the Knights Templar, the Teutonic Knights, ...). These groups defended the Holy Land, fought against heretics and protected pilgrims traveling to/from the region.

The bloody, violent and often ruthless conflicts propelled the status of European Christians, making them major players in the fight for land in the Middle East (eight major Crusade expeditions occurred between 1096 and 1291).

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.
