<u>Answer</u>:

  • Maintained that religion was useful to humankind but didn’t have to be true: Voltaire
  • Maintained that each person entered into society with an unspoken agreement to refrain from harming one another: Jean-Jacques Rousseau
  • Believed that people should exchange some of their individual freedoms for common security: Thomas Hobbes
  • Believed that natural law was given to humans by God: William Blackstone

<u>Explanation:</u>

Voltaire maintained that religion was useful to mankind as a way to implement social control (not always negative) and as a way to encourage the development of qualities in an individual. Whatever religion people have, it allows for more harmonious relationships.

Rousseau defended the idea of a social contract, which was an implicit agreement between people and the government. In this original agreement, people agreed to be amenable and to try to live in society as peaceful as possible.

Hobbes believed that the government's priority was to ensure the safety of each individual, and in order to do so, people needed to be willing to let go of some of their individual freedoms.

William Blackstone believed in natural law, which is a law that guides humans regardless of their cultural or social background. This law, according to Blackstone, was given to us by God.

How did diplomacy affect Austria-Hungary during WW1
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The assassination of the Austrian imperial heir Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo in 1914 led to a declaration of war on Serbia.

Because Serbia was a Slavic Russian ally, the czarist government declared war on Austria-Hungary.  Germany declared war on Russia because it had an alliance with Austria.  Then France had to declare war on Germany and Austria-Hungary because of its committments to Moscow. And so on.

The policy of military alliances and secret diplomatic arrangements  practiced in the decades before WWI, conducted recklessly to a large extent by all great powers of Europe, constructed a web of mutual compromises that led to the great continental and global conflict we know as WWI, causing a sort of chain reaction. The war went on for 4 years and caused unimaginable loss of lives and destruction.
