John Locke thought that people were neither good nor bad innately. How did Hobbes’s views differ from those of Locke’s?
Vladimir [108]

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.   :-)

CAN SOMEONE PLSSSSSS HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION IM STRUGGLING WITH IT!!!!
mash [69]

Answer:

The Emancipation Proclamation granted freedom to the slaves in the Confederate States, if the States did not return to the Union by January 1, 1863. Do to this proclamation, the slaves could be freed, but only if they won the war. However, in a way the Emancipation Proclamation changed the meaning and purpose of the war. The war was no longer just about preserving the Union, it was also about giving the slaves a chance to be free and live somewhat normal lives. Unfortunately, Britain and France lost their keenness for supporting the Confederacy. The Emancipation Proclamation changed the course of the war because slave will desire to fight for the north once they are liberated and England and France will no longer help the south in the war because they want slavery.
