<u>This portion of the text shows Hobbes supported an absolute ruler:</u>

  • <em>Men are continually in competition for honour and dignity . . . and consequently amongst men there ariseth on that ground, envy, and hatred, and finally war. ... No wonder if there be somewhat else required, besides [contract], to make their agreement constant and lasting; which is a common power to keep them in awe and to direct their actions to the common benefit. </em>
  • <em> The only way to erect such a common power, as may be able to defend them from the invasion of foreigners, and the injuries of one another . . . is to confer all their power and strength upon one man, or upon one assembly of men, that may reduce all their wills, by plurality of voices, unto one will.</em>

Further detail:

Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called Leviathan 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.

Guilty--the traditionalists were against the teaching of evolution and that is what Scopes was accused of doing. 

The Butler Act declared the teaching of evolution unlawful and Scopes was accused of teaching it. The traditionalists were leaning more toward fundamentalist Christianity meaning the Bible is the truth and is literal in its interpretation. Under this belief, evolution is not possible. <span />

Answer:

For present scenario ---> B , C

Reality ---> D

Explanation :

Nowadays , usually most people when watch any official music video of any romantic song , they think that loving anyone is quite easier but as it's a official video ; it becomes a kind of short love story. But when we'll talk about romantic films , it's always a bit lengthy one & the story has a twist due to which people think that loving anyone isn't easy. Still there might be some films in which it doesn't make you feel that loving anyone is hard.

But the reality is that loving anyone is quite harder because you have to invest some time to your loving ones & a strong understanding is needed in between you & your loving ones.
