Answer:

Among the several Enlightenment-era influential philosophers, I believe that <u>John Locke</u> is the one who better understood politics, and has the best conception of man's natural state. Plus, he was influential in the US political thought during the Revolution Era.

Explanation:

<u>John Locke theorized that the man, once living in the natural state, it's free, but he doesn't feel himself safe. Then, the man makes a contract with a superior authority - the State - to promote him the necessary goods. However, this contract address that the State shouldn't interfere on the man's business. It's only duty was to promote social development. Once the government didn't follow the contract, man could take off the governor and elect another one. This principle was crucial in the development of the US political thought. </u>If we compare Locke with Jean-Jacques Rousseau, for instance, we can see that Locke has a better conception about politics, and in several ways, Locke's view is more realistic. Rousseau had a romanticized point of view about society, and according to him, humans are strictly good, and they enjoy to live in the community.

Which best explains what it means for a company to sell its stock?
gregori [183]

The correct answer is: "Companies are selling shares of ownership and a share of its profits in exchange for money it can use to operate their business."

Shares are fractions of a corporation's social capital, which is equally divided in many pieces. Each of these shares is traded in stock markets. When investors buy stock from a company, they become owners of the company in the same proportion that the number of shares bought represents of the total social capital. Stockholders will make profit by receiving, every year, a percentage of the total profit generated by the company. The amount received is called dividend.

Moreover, stock investors can also make money by selling the shares at a higher price than the buying price. If the company functions properly and keeps on generating profits, the value of its stock in the financial markets will rise.
