Imagine a country that has been stable for several decades. Some citizens begin protesting the
taxes they pay to the government. Government responds by lowering taxes--but with less
revenue, they also cut services. People who like those services begin to protest about their
declining quality of life. A neighboring country invades and the government tries to get more
citizens to join the military to fight a defensive war, but most people refuse because they feel like
their government has not supported them enough to justify the sacrifice. The invading country
removes the government and takes over the territory. This story of the end of a once-stable
country is an example of...
Group of answer choices
...strategic blunders on the part of military leaders.
...ignorance among citizens of the importance of loyalty to the state.
...breaking the social contract between citizens and the state.
...laziness on the part of citizens dependent on the state.
