Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
It is only possible to find the answer to your question by reading the text to which it refers. However, we can consider that if Coates was unable to find consolation in religion and in the church, it is because these two elements did not have what Coates needed to find comfort in relation to the problems that are hurting him. So, to answer that question, you must read the text, understand Coates' problems, what he needs to solve them and why the church and religion are unable to provide what Coates needed.
Answer:
Louis XIV made France the dominant power in Europe, however, his model of absolutist monarchy collapsed within less than a century after his death. Some historians trace the origins of the French Revolution to his reign but the system functioned perfectly under the Sun King.
Explanation:
Hobbes had a rather negative view of human nature. Locke's view of human nature was that it started as a "blank slate" (basically neutral), and tended to be a more positive view as a result.
In terms of inalienable rights, Hobbes believed that people gave up their rights in the interests of security when establishing a government to rule over them. Locke believed the people always retain their rights and can replace a government if it abuses those rights.
<u>Further explanation:</u>
Both of these 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 often hurtful 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. :-)
The American Revolution in effect created multiple civil wars.. Loyalty to Great Britain came in many forms, from wealthy elites who enjoyed prewar.. In general, however, British America’s population of 2.5 million, roughly one third, to cause independence.
Took me a while to get this but it’s definitely correct ;)
