<span>As part of Henry Clay's "American System", internal improvements including federal funding for roads and canals (see Erie Canal) would improve transportation and help commercialize the nation, as well as help develop ties between respective sections of America. One of these improvements was the National Road (fully completed in 1839), sometimes referred to as the Cumberland Road only because it begins in Cumberland, MD (and ends in Vandalia, Illinois). James' Madison and Monroe both supported interstate roads like this sensing the urgent need for decent transportation routes. But, when congressmen proposed spending federal money on local projects, the two presidents both were quick to veto them, citing their unconstitutionality. In 1830, Andrew Jackson unexpectedly vetoed the Maysville Road Bill. Being a westerner, he surely saw the urgent need for better transportation. Looking a little bit deeper, who was the American System proposed by? Henry Clay. Who was Jackson arch-political-rival? Indeed, Henry Clay. By this time, Jackson sought to end all of the debate over the internal improvements because they seemed to always dissatisfy somebody, so he refused to provide any federal funding for any of them. The impact of the internal improvements was immense, as it helped to country progress as a unified nation through much-needed transportation. And with projects like the National Road, commerce in the area would be changed for decades to come.</span>
The statement that correctly describes the beginning of the decline of the Roman Empire would be "<span>a. Very few Roman emperors in the centuries after Augustus were competent rulers; most were insane, greedy, or both," since this led to a loss of power consolidation and insurrections on the "edges" of the empire. </span>
Short answer:
- Thomas Hobbes was influenced by the events of the English Civil War. John Locke was influenced by the change of government seen in the Glorious Revolution in England a few decades later.
- By "theories about natural law," I'm thinking you are referring to their differing views on what they called the "state of nature." Hobbes believed human beings in the state of nature (governed by natural leanings rather than an organized government) was chaotic and dangerous and violent. Locke believed the state of nature for humanity was a neutral condition, and that experience could teach us the best ways to live according to reason.
Further detail:
Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in <em>Leviathan</em> in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War. He saw the natural state of human beings as one in which persons were naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and acted with evil and violence toward one another as a result. Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.
John Locke published his <em>Two Treatises on Civil Government</em> in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England. Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings. Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.
