- John Locke: Second Treatise on Government
- Thomas Hobbes: Leviathan
- William Blackstone: Commentaries on the Laws of England
- Jean Jacques Rousseau: The Social Contract
Explanation:
1. <em>Two Treatises of Government</em> (1689) is one of John Locke's most famous works. In this work, he established the principle that men are naturally free and equal, but with the purpose to interact in a healthy society, it was necessary that they transferred some of their rights to a government that the people chose and changed when they deemed necessary.
2. Thomas Hobbes published <em>Leviathan: The Matter, Form, and Power of a Commonwealth, Ecclesiastical and Civil</em> in 1651. With this book, he became the first philosopher who developed the concept of Social Contract.
3. The most influential work of William Blackstone was the <em>Commentaries on the Laws of England</em> (1765-1769) in which he fully described the doctrines of English law.
4. Jean-Jacques Rousseau published <em>The Social Contract </em>in 1762, which was a work that provided the means to establish a political community that would benefit the modern society.

The Boers were immigrants from Germany, France and the Netherlands who settled in the First European Colony established in South Africa ( at present day Cape Town) in 1653 by a Dutchman called Jan Van Riebeek.
The Boers created very large farms which served to bring much economic gain. At first, the Dutch were only interested in establishing a supply base for the Dutch East India Company in 1652. But over the next 150 years, The Dutch and other immigrants which formed the Boer community moved further inland and began engaging in agriculture and other economic activities, thus encouraging more Europeans to come and settle there.
