Answer:

To provide safety.

Explanation:

Political philosopher Thomas Hobbes believed that people accepted to be ruled by a government because a government was able to provide safety to humans. Without government, laws, and justice, we could all take advantage of each other in any way we wanted. Moreover, anyone could take advantage of us as well. In order to protect ourselves, and avoid living in constant fear and violence, we establish a government that can exercise control over us and punish criminals. This, in his opinion, is the most effective way of achieving peaceful relationships among humans.

Which event immediately followed the storming of the Bastille?
Annette [7]

Immediately after the storming of Bastille A) Peasants began attacking the aristocracy. The common people were tired of not having any say especially because starvation was rampant among the peasants. Tension rose between the commoners and the rich as the rich class (called the first and second estates) tried to keep power from the common people (Third estate). The people fought back by forming their own assembly called the national assembly. This assembly was supported by a finance minister named Jacques Kneckers. However, the king Louis XVI banished Kneckers and this is when the people decided to storm Bastille in protest. This lead to more riots and the peasants attacking the aristocracy or the highest class of people in France.

What are the characteristics of babylonian
Anni [7]
Babylonia was a state in ancient Mesopotamia. The city of Babylon, whose ruins are located in present-day Iraq, was founded more than 4,000 years ago as a small port town on the Euphrates River. It grew into one of the largest cities of the ancient world under the rule of Hammurabi. Several centuries later, a new line of kings established a Neo-Babylonian Empire that spanned from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea. During this period, Babylon became a city of beautiful and lavish buildings. Biblical and archaeological evidence point toward the forced exile of thousands of Jews to Babylon around this time.

which of the following was one way that western powers gained the upper hand in muslin regions of the world?
Talja [164]
The best answer is, by sending troops to protect their interests. 

Western rulers were skeptical of forming alliances with their Muslim counterparts, and as a result, sought protection of themselves and their assets from within their own resources and by means of trained military personnel. This influx of western military forces caused tension among the Muslim regions and various leaders but was successful in securing the interests of the Western leaders.
