. What impact did Christianity have on the Roman Empire?

Explanation:

The Proclamation of Thessalonica, released by Imperial Theodosius in 380 CE, declared Christianity, specifically Protestant Christianity, to be the holy roman empire Empire. The Roman republic declared almost all other Christian denominations heretical, stripped them of their legal standing, and confiscated their property.

the two colonies had the earliest laws mandating religious tolerance.

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.
