Answer: A) Hobbes thought people were innately 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 violent 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:
Platt Amendment:
authorized the United States to intervene militarily in Cuba.
Explanation:
The Platt Amendment was attached to the Army Appropriation Bill of 1901 specifically on March 2, 1901. It was a treaty between Cuba and the U.S. which allowed the U.S. to intervene militarily to enforce the independence of Cuba. It also forbade Cuba from transferring land to any other power, except to the U.S. The treaty limited Cuba's right to enter into any treaty negotiations with foreign governments. It also ceded the naval base, Guantánamo Bay, to the United States, which it continues to hold till date. The treaty remained in operation till 1934, but was not kindly accepted by Cubans, because they regarde it as too much interference.
Though a map is missing, looking up any map of Germany it is easy to realize its advantageous position right in the heart of Europe. Trade and cultural exchange with Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Europe is easy because of the above mentioned position in the European continent. Furthermore, Germany has easy access to the Baltic Sea to the East, linking the country to Scandinavia and the eastern European countries such as Poland and Russia, plus it also has easy access to virtually any other part of the world because of its main seaport: Hamburg.To the West, the Rhine River has served Germany for centuries as an important waterway of communication with the Benelux countries and France. To the South, it is in direct contact or relatively close to other important countries in the region such as Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Italy, etc.
