Why did Margaret thatcher close the coal mines?

because they were losing the equivalent (in today's prices) of 1.4 BILLION pound per year. Coal mining union leaders knew this didn't add up to profits since the 1960's. Thatcher balanced budgets and reduced the economic decline of the UK in the 80's. She reduced the highest tax rate of 83% (ridiculous rate, no one should have to pay more than half their money to the government IMO) to 40%, which even liberals agree is fairer than 83%! Granted, not all of her policies were good (Falklands war was stupid, milk cuts to school budgets were horrible) but she did get the economy moving again and put the UK house in order. I'm not trying to justify all of her actions, but she did do some good to the country, and whether you agree with every thing she did or not, SHE HAD BALLS!

Summarize the divine right and social contract theories?

The theory of Divine Right meant that the King ruled because God placed him on the throne. No one could challenge the king's right to rule. The people had to obey the king because that is what God wanted. That theory came from the Bible. The Apostle Paul told the Church at Rome to be subject to the governing authorities because they were ordained by God.

The social contract theory meant that a historical contract existed between the people and the king. The king had his responsibility and the people had their responsibilities. If the king did not fulfill his responsibilities, the people could replace him. This contract was based on a historical agreement when the kingship was established. Just because the king had not honored it over the years did not make it less valid. The people retained their right to dispose the king.

How did renaissance ideas influence the ceeation of American government?

The creation of the American republican form of government in the 18th century (and beyond) was in fact influenced by Renaissance ideas, if more indirectly rather than directly. Just one example would be the following: the American Founders celebrated and made use of their innate ability to make great, or at least new, things happen in their own sphere of life; that is, they sought to use their own abilities to do something special in the 'here and now' of their own time and place in a manner similar to that of many of the great Renaissance figures and societies.
