Thomas Hobbes stated that life would be “nasty, brutish and short ” without a state or government. Which represents Hobbes philo
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The answer is: letter A, Established prisons to hold criminals and reduced crime.

Explanation:

Thomas Hobbes was an<em> English philosopher</em> who supported "absolute monarchy" as the best form of government for the people. According to him, it is a human instinct to desire more power. Without law, people will kill others in order to achieve their own good. Thus, he stated that life would be "nasty, brutish and short" without a state government. Establishing prisons to hold criminals and reduce crime will allow people to uphold the contract of submitting themselves to the will of the sovereign. People's fear will be the means to maintain order and peace in a civil society.

So for him, in order to guarantee "peace,"<u><em> monarchy</em></u> is the best form of government. It is important that <em>all members in the nation submit themselves absolutely to the sovereign in order to maintain peace. </em>

Read this excerpt from a letter by Civil War soldier Sullivan Ballou:
Jlenok [28]

It was the time of Civil War when Abraham Lincoln had sent his regiment of soldiers to Rhode Island in order to dump down the rebellion.

Sullivan Ballou served as the contingent officer in American army. He wrote a very emotional final letter to his beloved wife Sarah. The letter echoed his patriotic fervor towards America. The twitch between love for his beloved wife and his duty towards protecting the motherland was emotionally portrayed.

This letter was never mailed but it was given to his widow after it was found in his suitcase. Sullivan died in the battle as he was hit by cannon fire. His body was exhumed and decapitated. Charred ashes were the remains found in the war field. This letter portrays a universal truth that courage does not mean gaining victory but it means facing Death for the cause of victory.

Why did the transition to collectivization result in widespread starvation?
morpeh [17]
<span>The peasants would be unable to provide enough for the quotas and so their goods were simply taken away from them and instead were given to the cities and the military. Millions of peasants as a result would starve to death and would end up moving to the cities where all of the food was being sent.</span>
