Answer:

The answer is: letter A, Established prisons to hold criminals and reduced crime.

Explanation:

Thomas Hobbes was an<em> English philosopher</em> who supported "absolute monarchy" as the best form of government for the people. According to him, it is a human instinct to desire more power. Without law, people will kill others in order to achieve their own good. Thus, he stated that life would be "nasty, brutish and short" without a state government. Establishing prisons to hold criminals and reduce crime will allow people to uphold the contract of submitting themselves to the will of the sovereign. People's fear will be the means to maintain order and peace in a civil society.

So for him, in order to guarantee "peace,"<u><em> monarchy</em></u> is the best form of government. It is important that <em>all members in the nation submit themselves absolutely to the sovereign in order to maintain peace. </em>

Where could nationalism be found?
JulsSmile [24]

American nationalism is a form of nationalism found in the United States, which asserts that Americans are a nation and that promotes the cultural unity of Americans.[3]

American scholars such as Hans Kohn have claimed that the United States government institutionalized a civic nationalism based on legal and rational concepts of citizenship, and based on a common language and cultural traditions, rather than ethnic nationalism.[3] The founders of the United States founded the country upon classical liberal individualist principles rather than ethnic nationalist principles.[3] American nationalism sinceWorld War I and particularly since the 1960s has largely been based upon the civic nationalist culture of the country's founders.<span>[4]</span>

An action or decision that later serves as an example
valentina_108 [34]

<u>Answer:</u> An action or decision that later serves as an example is "Precedent"

<u>Explanation:</u>

An earlier incident or action which is considered an indicator or a reference to be used in similar circumstances afterwards is termed as "Precedent". There are two kinds available as persuasive precedents and binding precedents.

A precedent or authority is a legal case in common law legal systems that sets out a principle or rule. The court or other judicial bodies then use this principle or rule when deciding later cases with similar matters or facts.
