Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video explores the foundational concepts of United States citizenship, focusing on the relationship between rights and responsibilities. It begins by using a relatable analogy of a car loan contract to explain the "Social Contract" theory derived from Enlightenment thinker John Locke. The host explains how this theory influenced the Founding Fathers to create a government where citizens sacrifice some absolute freedom in exchange for the protection of their natural rights.
