Hey there!
The most common belief for why he did this was to promote originality. Most poets in that time used rhyming meters, and they still do today. In fact, you were probably taught rhyming meters in school - they follow rhythm and pattern that isn't subject to change.

Answer:
Explanation:
The rhetorical question in this poem is asking about the development of a child. It's apparent that kids ask millions of questions, which is the most effective way children know the world and a part of the world becomes their lives, by asking questions, things become clearer to them and their development improves. That is the tool employed by Whitman to show the speaker's development throughout the poem.
Children are known to be very inquisitive, they want to learn about the world they are in, they want to make sense of their environment and every existence, so the only way for them to achieve this is by asking existential questions.
Thomas Hobbes came up with the idea of the social contract in 1657. His ideas were influenced by the English Civil War. He argued the importance of government, saying that society would be in ruins without it. Because of his pessimistic view of people, believing we are all born naturally evil and corrupt, he believed that absolute rule was the only answer. He wanted to form a social contract with the government primarily because he wanted to ensure self-interest. John Locke built off of Hobbes ideas but changed them to fit his own ideals. He wanted the power of government to come from the people's consent, keeping the rulers accountable to their people, yet in power.
