John Locke thought that people were neither good nor bad innately. How did Hobbes’s views differ from those of Locke’s?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:  A) Hobbes thought  people were innately violent.

<u>Further explanation</u>:

Both English philosophers believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people.  But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.

Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in <em>Leviathan </em> in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War.  He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and violent toward one another as a result.  Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.

John Locke published his <em>Two Treatises on Civil Government </em>in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England.  Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings.  Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.

In teaching the difference between Hobbes and Locke, I've often put it this way.  If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way.   Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved.    Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith.  But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke.   :-)

Which of the king’s actions prompted nobles to force the king to sign the Magna Carta
katrin2010 [14]

The king’s actions that prompted nobles to force the king to sign the Magna Carta was his demand of heavy taxes to fund his unsuccessful wars in France.

This action forced the barons to rebel against the king and the Magna carter was signed in order to limit the king's power.

<h3>What Was the Magna Carter?</h3>

   Magna Carta Libertatum,  which is shortened as the Magna Carta, is a royal charter of rights agreed to by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215. This Charter of rights is referred to as the first known documentation of Human Rights.

    Prior to the signing of this charter, the king was viewed as the absolute power and could do as he willed.

  Some of his actions were detrimental to the Nobles and in order to preserve his throne from imminent take over, his subjects forced him to sign the Magna Carta.

please don't :(

It was a protection over the Western Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine was basically a foreign policy that couldn't have been sustained in 1823

I really hope this clears everything out.
