There are several reasons experts believe the city of Cahokia disappeared such as:
- It grew too large
- Sanitary system wasn't good and people got sick.
- Inhabitants destroyed the nearby forests to get firewood and without the wood, their city couldn't survive.
- Enemies attacked.
Cahokia was a thriving city that was quite prosperous with their main food being maize which the fair climate allowed them to grow.
Overtime this changed and a drought that lasted for centuries kicked in. It led to conflict and strife in the large settlement as people could not get enough food.
Experts also believe that other problems such as poor sanitation systems and enemies attacking may have also contributed to the inhabitants leaving.
In conclusion, Cahokia was large and thriving but faced many challenges that in the end led to it collapsing.

<u>This portion of the text shows Hobbes supported an absolute ruler:</u>
- <em>Men are continually in competition for honour and dignity . . . and consequently amongst men there ariseth on that ground, envy, and hatred, and finally war. ... No wonder if there be somewhat else required, besides [contract], to make their agreement constant and lasting; which is a common power to keep them in awe and to direct their actions to the common benefit.
</em>
- <em>
The only way to erect such a common power, as may be able to defend them from the invasion of foreigners, and the injuries of one another . . . is to confer all their power and strength upon one man, or upon one assembly of men, that may reduce all their wills, by plurality of voices, unto one will.</em>
Further detail:
Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called Leviathan 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.
