Answer:

The US constitution was a document made by the founding fathers written to secure the rights of the American people such as freedom of speech, the right to bear arms etc.

The founding fathers were inspired partially by the Magna Carta, a document written in 1215 AD by Bishop Stephen Langton which secured some of the rights of the British people.

Explain the impact World War I had on the women who were left home, and the men who were in the trenches.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The impact World War I had on the women who were left home and the men who were in the trenches was devastating in different ways.

First, if men were drafted, they had to leave home to enlist in the military. That was the first shock. Most of them knew they were going to die on the battlefield.

That impacted the family in that women, mothers, had to be in charge of the house, raise children, get a job to feed the family members, knowing that they could never see again their husbands. That should have been a traumatic experience.

Children! How a mother could explain to children that their dad was not going to get back home. Too much pain and suffereing.

John Locke thiught people were neither good nor bad naturally.How did Hobbes views differ from lockes
ruslelena [56]

Answer:  Hobbes believed people were naturally selfish and violent.

<u>Further explanation</u>:

Both English philosophers believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people.  But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.

Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in <em>Leviathan </em> in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War.  He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and evil 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.

In teaching the difference between Hobbes and Locke, I've often put it this way.  If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way.   Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved.    Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith.  But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke.   :-)
