Read President Herbert Hoover's Annual Message to
Congress from December 1931.

Select the two highlighted examples that demonstrate his
belief in "rugged individualism."

Its is inevitable that in these times much of the legislation proposed to the congress and many of the recommendations of the executive must be designed to meet emergencies.

Again, just as the largest measure of responsibility in the government of the nation rests upon local self-government so does the largest measure of social responsibility in our country rest upon the individual.

Our system, based upon the ideals of individual initiative and of equality of opportunity, is not an artificial thing. Rather it is the outgrowth of experience of America, and expresses the faith and spirit of our people.

Ours must be a country of such stability and security as can not fail to carry forward and enlarge among all the people that abundant life of material and spiritual opportunity which it has represented among all nations since its beginning

Explanation:

"Rugged individualism" is the term that defends the idea that citizens should be responsible for their own success and for the harmony and comfort of the region in which they live, and the State should not interfere, or interfere very little in what is related to that responsibility.

In short, the term removes government responsibility for the welfare and success of the individuals it governs. This term was widely used by President Herbert Hoover and can be seen in the two sentences shown above.

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."

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.
