What is one key concern of the Maoris with the new Proposed Bill of Rights in the New Zealand Parlament?
1. Redefinition of Governance and Sovereignty:
• Proposed Principle: The Government of New Zealand has full power to govern, and Parliament has full power to make laws.
• Māori Concern: This interpretation may be seen as diminishing the original treaty’s acknowledgment of Māori authority and self-determination, potentially undermining the partnership established in the treaty.
2. Property Rights and Authority:
• Proposed Principle: The Crown guarantees all New Zealanders the authority and ownership of their land and property.
• Māori Concern: The treaty’s original text guarantees Māori “tino rangatiratanga” (full chieftainship) over their lands, villages, and treasures. The proposed principle’s broad language might not fully encompass the depth of Māori connection to their taonga (treasures), which includes not only physical property but also cultural heritage and language.
3. Equality Under the Law:
• Proposed Principle: All New Zealanders are equal under the law.
• Māori Concern: While equality is a shared value, this principle could be interpreted in ways that overlook the need for equitable measures to address historical injustices and disparities faced by Māori, potentially hindering efforts to achieve true equity.

What are the three contributions of The Enlightenment ideas to the concept of Nation-State? (explain them in your own words)
1. Social Contract Theory: Philosophers like John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau articulated the idea that legitimate political authority arises from a social contract between rulers and the governed. This framework emphasized that governments should be based on the consent of the people, aligning with the principles of national sovereignty inherent in the nation-state model.
2. Popular Sovereignty: The Enlightenment promoted the notion that ultimate political power resides with the people, challenging the divine right of kings. This idea underpins the nation-state’s emphasis on a unified populace exercising self-governance.
3. Emphasis on Reason and Individual Rights: Enlightenment thinkers advocated for individual liberties and rational governance. These principles fostered environments where distinct cultural or ethnic groups sought self-determination, contributing to the formation of nation-states centered around shared identities.
