<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.

1. What was Justinian's major goal as ruler of the Eastern Roman Empire?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1. He wanted to retake the west

2. Though not directly, he definitely made liberal interpretations of things like treaties and alliances

3. It was definitely the smart thing to do politically, assuring that no other challenges to his rule would arise in his lifetime. Ethically... maybe letting half the city burn and slaughtering the entirety of the rioters in the stadium was wrong? I think killing people like that is wrong.

4. She was a brilliant political thinker and an integral part of Justinian's rule. Without her advise he probably woulda been deposed during the Nika Riots, or perhaps not managed to maneuver his way into all of the legal reforms he managed to institute

5. Not... really, while his wars certainly helped spread it, trade was an essential part of life and the plague would have ravaged the people anyways.

6. Justinian's ambition and drive, as well as his frankly herculean efforts to make the roman empire a lustrous figure again make it hard not to think of him as anything other than the great. That said don't slaughter people in a stadium, it's a bad look.

What is the relationship between imports and exports in a mercantilist economic system
dimaraw [331]
The relationship between imports and exports in a mercantilist economic system is that one superpower dominates the imports and exports of another country. To further explain this, here is an example: when the British still held control over the American colonies they only let the colonies import from Great Britain and export to Great Britain, so that Britain was the only country to gain from this while the other European superpowers and the colonies were halted from making economic gains.
