History

Margaret [11]3 years ago

The Privy Council was a select group of advisers that gave direction to the king on where to locate and how to maintain and operate the royal system of privies, which today we would refer to as outhouses, or portapotties. It enabled and facilitate greater debate in the House of Burgesses, in that members were better able to pop out for quick use of the restroom, as opposed to having to formally call to recess to use a chamber pot back at their lodgings. I hope this helps!

What ideas did Thomas Hobbes and John Locke develop about the nature of government
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Hobbes and Locke developed the theory of government as a "social contract" between the people who are governed and the government that is established.

Explanation:

  • Thomas 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.
  • 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, which includes choosing to form governments to make life and society better.  This was his application of the "social contract" theory.
