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. :-)

Answer:
A localist reaction against Chinese immigration, which contributed a large number of workers who were mainly employed on the west coast of the United States.
Explanation:
Hello!
At the end of the 1840s, gold was discovered in California, which caused a great movement of people who came with the hope of obtaining great economic benefits. Many immigrants arrived from China.
In 1873, the New York bank Jay Cooke and Company went bankrupt, causing a financial crisis that hit California economically.
In the 1880s, the estimated number of Chinese in California was 100,000.
In this climate of economic uncertainty, white workers blamed the Chinese for representing unfair competition, since they often accepted jobs for a low payment. The Chinese population began to suffer many acts of violence.
The Chinese exclusion act of 1882 suspended the immigration of Chinese for 10 years.
