Thomas Hobbes was an early modern philosopher who put forth the idea of a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people. This was different than previous views which held that governments (kings) got their authority directly from God.
Hobbes published a famous work called<em> Leviathan</em> in 1651. The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society. In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast). Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests. So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen. And so people willingly enter a social contract in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.
Probably the most famous set of lines from Hobbes' Leviathan book describes what he saw as the natural state of human affairs without government -- one in which every individual had freedom, but that meant it was a situation of "war of all against all," or we might say, every man for himself. Hobbes wrote:
-
<em>In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

Answer:
Harriet Stowe's book,"Uncle Tom's Cabin," Missouri Compromise, Dred-Scott court case, the Fugitive Slave Act
Explanation:
1. Stowe's book greatly influeced the Civil War because she describes the true horrors of slavery that most northerners or other people, weren't very aware of. People knew slavery exsited, but didn't know how bad the treatment was. This open the eyes for the people in the North especially, increasing the amount of people to support anit-slavery.
2.The Missouri Compromise is what starts is all, by diving the U.S. into slave and free states, there was bound to be created tensions between the two sides.
3.The Dred-scott case ruled that slaves were property and did not have any rights to the Consitution...this was a shocked factor to both free and slaved blacks. Once again, fueling tensions between anti-slavery, and pro-slavery people.
4. Th Fugitive Slave Act angered many Northerns who were anti-slavery because, the act forced northerners to capture and return any slaves that escaped to the North. They can't help them to escape, otherwise they will be jailed, which goes against Northerns morals. This act mainly favored the South.
