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. :-)
This is correct.
Machiavelli was an Italian political philosopher whose famous work, the Prince, is an in-depth look at what is necessary for a ruler to be effective, both in terms of ruling a people but also in doing what needs to be done.

Based on the way things went over time, one can say that the popularity of Ali's stance increased positively.
<h3>What did Ali do?</h3>
- Muhammed Ali refused to fight with the American army during the Vietnam war after he was called up to serve.
- He claimed that because he was a Black Muslim, he was allowed to be a conscientious objector.
At the time he refused to serve, feelings of patriotism and anti-communism were at an all time high and so he was berated for his decision. Within the decade however, anti-war sentiment spread across the United States and led to Ali being praised for his decision.
