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.

Which of the following statements best describes the course of the Korean War during the last year-and-a-half of the conflict?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

i don't know what the statements are but, i think the answer is B) Neither side could win an advantage.

Explanation:

Korean War was a war fought on the Korean Peninsula from 1950 to 1953 after troops from communist North Korea, armed with Soviet weapons, invaded democratic South Korea, prompting the United States and the United Nations to send forces to support South Korea and fight to unify the Korean Peninsula into one democratic nation, which in turn prompted China to join the war on North Korea's side; at war's end, the peninsula remained divided into two nations

-The war began when North Korean troops armed with Soviet weapons invaded South Korea. Their aim was to unite all of Korea under communist rule. Truman, viewing the invasion as a test of American will, ordered U.S. forces to help South Korea repel the invaders. Truman turned to the United Nations for support. A UN resolution condemned the North Korean invasion and called on member states to aid South Korea.

what are some reasons a civilization may seek to expand its power and influence? do you think expansion always leads to conflict
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Two mian reasons why civilizations seek to expand their power:

  • The quest for more resources: resources are always scarce, and every civilization wants to have more of them. Expanding its power, territory, and influence, is a way to seek control of more resources.
  • To keep other civilizations from becoming more powerful: some civilizations have tried to expand their power mainly with the goal of keeping some neighboring civilization from becoming more powerful. For example, in Mesopotamia, the Assyrians conquered ended up conquering the Babylonians become the two civilizations were not able to coexist.

do you think expansion always leads to conflict?

No, expansion does not necessarily lead to conflict if the civilization that expands is pluralistic and respects cultural differences, and gives territories some degree of autonomy.
