The king had power, but not as much as parliament.
That's quite a lot of questions for one Brainly post! I won't aim to respond to each of those individual questions, but to the questions as a set.
All four thinkers referenced -- Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu and Wollstonecraft -- were aiming to use reason and evidence to analyze issues in society and suggest solutions.
Hobbes, observing what he saw as the natural suspicion and competition human beings have of one another, suggested that establishing strong governmental authority is the only way to ensure stability and security for us to live together in society.
Locke had a more favorable view of human nature, and believed that if we acted reasonably we could together construct societies in which we respected one another's rights and worked to improve our mutual condition as a majority-governed body politic.
Montesquieu used his reason to research and analyze governments and set forth what governments he saw working best in which situations. The idea of "checks and balances" that we have in our American system was something he proposed (as the quoted text indicated).
Wollstonecraft applied principles of reason to the role of women and the rights for girls to be educated for active participation in society and civic life.
Best wishes to you as you work out your more specific answers to the whole array of questions you're working with on this assignment!
During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were allies, and they worked together in order to defeat the nations of the Axis. However, after the war, and particularly after the Yalta Conference, it became obvious that the two nations had very different ideas of what the future world should look like. The very different approaches that each side took towards its goals made these differences obvious. It also encouraged the idea that the two countries were enemies. This enmity was expressed through the conflicting ideas of capitalism and communism.
As the rise of communism became more feared, distrust and suspicion grew within the United States. People believed that the United States needed to actively protect the world from the threat of communism. This led to the beginning of what is known as the Cold War.
I believe the answer will be c
Constantinopole was more in the middle of the Empire than Rome at the time. Additionally, it can be argued that he felt that Rome was becoming unsuitable: corrupted by the fights among politicians and not stable (under threat of attacks from Germanic tribes): Constantinopole was safer and more stable at the time.
