Both believed that people are the ones who form a government, giving government the right to rule according to a "social contract."

Explanation:

  • Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan </em>in 1651.  The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society.  In Hobbes view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast).    Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests.  So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen.  And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.
  • Today, Locke is most famous for his political theory.  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, which includes choosing to form governments to make life and society better.  This was his application of the "social contract" theory.

Alexis de Tocqueville, a French political thinker and historian best known for his Democracy in America

Explanation:

He says that the tension between freedom and equality is that there is a passion for equality, which makes every man's desire to be powerful and honored. However, there is a depraved taste for equality, which makes the weak want to lower the powerful to make everyone weak. Liberty is the important key aspect of everyone's desires, and they make efforts to obtain liberty, but if they don't obtain liberty than they would rather have everyone with the same equality. He highlights the fact law of humanity takes the key role in America.

The Anglo-Americans are the first people to emphasize sovereignty of the people, which means that the people are given the utmost power and liberties in the country. The people and the common good come first before anything else.
