Answer:

In 1776, the Founders of the United States met in Philadelphia to draft the Declaration of Independence that dissolved the political ties that united the American people with Britain. Thus was born a new, free and independent nation, the United States of America. Eleven years later, in 1787, after the victory of the American patriots on the battlefield, and having won our independence, many of the men who had met before in Philadelphia met again, together with others, to establish the structure of government of the new nation: the Constitution of the United States. In 1789, after the plan had been ratified, he had the new government. Together, the Declaration and the Constitution are the founding documents of the United States.    

With the amendments that have been made over the years, the Constitution is the supreme law of the country, the fundamental law of the nation. But the general language of the Constitution is illuminated by the principles established in the Declaration. Therefore, to better understand and evaluate the form of government we have, it is important to first see the Declaration where the Founders delineated their moral vision and the government it implied.

One of the results of foreign invasion was the increase in power of kings. <br> true or false.
Morgarella [4.7K]
This is true. Many kings would plan and carry out invasions to gain goods, land and other loot and to expand their rule because many of them worried that another power would get too strong and take over their kingdom, and every king wanted to avoid that because they had become very fond of being king.

Compare and contrast Hobbes’ and Locke’s views of human nature and the role government should play
svet-max [94.6K]

Thomas Hobbes believed that people were inherently suspicious of one another and in competition with one another.  This led him to propose that government should have supreme authority over people in order to maintain security and a stable society.

John Locke argued that people were born as blank slates, open to learning all things by experience.  Ultimately this meant Locke viewed human beings in a mostly positive way, and so his approach to government was to keep the people empowered to establish and regulate their own governments for the sake of building good societies.

Further explanation:

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 evil 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.   :-)
