Answer:

In the fall of 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union came as close as they ever would to global nuclear war. Hoping to correct what he saw as a strategic imbalance with the United States, Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev began secretly deploying medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles to Fidel Castro's Cuba. Once operational, these nuclear-armed weapons could have been used on cities and military targets in most of the continental United States. Before this happened, however, U.S. intelligence discovered Khrushchev's brash maneuver. In what became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis, President John F. Kennedy and an alerted and aroused American government, military, and public compelled the Soviets to remove not only their missiles, but also all of their offensive weapons, from Cuba

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!
