Develop a claim to answer the Central Historical Question below that is supported with evidence. Use at least two pieces of evidence to support your claim. Include well thought out reasoning that clearly connects the claim to the evidence. Central Historical Question: What is the legacy of George HW Bush’s presidency?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

George H. W. Bush, a more conciliatory President.

In a clear difference of the unilateral decision of his son, George W, Bush, regarding the invasion of Iraq, George H. W. Bush had a more conciliatory approach in his relationship to Middle East foreign affairs. President Bush "Father" tried to create a coalition with other superpowers to deal with the issue of the Persian Gulf. On the other hand, his son acted abruptly, not respecting the Security Council of the United Nations, and Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq to catch Sadam Hussein and finding weapons of mass destruction that did not exist in Iraq.

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.
