The invention of the assembly line and interchangeable parts decreased the need for labor, leading to high unemployment rates.

Explanation:

The "Industrial Revolution" changed many things in the society, especially the relationship between business and labor in the 1800s. At this time, many machines became available with the intention of mass production.

Businesses wanted to produce goods with lower labor cost. One example of this was the "Assembly Line" which allowed the production of vehicles at a lower labor cost. This allowed the companies to save money when it comes to paying labor workers for every vehicle. This means that the company didn't need to hire many labor workers, thus leading to a high unemployment rate.

Another example was the "Interchangeable Parts" which allowed the production of many goods by a labor worker (semi-skilled or, sometimes, unskilled) at a lower cost. This means that the companies were able to produce goods (like weapon) with a small number of workers.

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. 

roosevelt essentially took the opposite approach as hoover in taking on the great depression. herbert hoover thought that america and its economy could naturally recover from the depression in due course, so he adamantly restrained the federal government from intervening on behalf of the people affected. on the other hand, roosevelt dramatically increased employment by expanding the federal government and establishing agencies that would aid in relieving some of the country's worst problems.
