Answer:

Yes.  The Founding Fathers made the right choice in basing their new government on the beliefs of John Locke rather than Thomas Hobbes.

God actually created all men and women equal and free.  This should be the basis of collective existence in any organized society.  An absolute monarch is not necessary in such an organized society.  The progress made in the US would not have been possible if the monarchical English government was continued.  The creation of the US even helped the English government to do a rethink.  The Queen has less power now than before the creation of the United States.

Explanation:

The beliefs of John Locke (1632 - 1704) are that God created all men and women free by nature and they are equal in the eyes of their creator.  He fought against the contrary belief that people are made by God to be subject to a monarch.

On the contrary, Thomas Hobbes (1588 - 1679) believed that an absolute monarchy was "the only true and correct form of government."  Hobbes in his Leviathan work held that "human beings are, at their core, selfish creatures," and therefore, needed a strong government for collective security, which the individuals cannot secure for themselves.

meriva

Answer:

Franklin D. Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover adopted opposite approaches to the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover thought that America and its economy would naturally recover from the depression, so he refused to have the federal government intervene or become heavily involved. By contrast, Franklin D. Roosevelt believed the federal government needed to take an active role in resolving the depression, and under his New Deal, he dramatically expanded the federal government to increase employment and establish agencies help relieve some of the country's worst problems.
