Answer:
While there are limits to geographic determinism, the clear superiority of New York's port in terms of its initial depth, the Hudson River and its location, and the other advantages provided by the water-borne connection to the Great Lakes ensured that this port would be America's port.

In this letter, you should:
1 - talk about the concept of State (or Power), considering the point of view of each philosopher;
2 - the idea behind the social contract, once again understanding the perspective of Hobbes and Locke;
3 - the State limitations, and the benefits of it, once again putting the ideas of each philosopher in perspective
Now, when it comes to the 18th-century despots, I think the better approach you have in hand is using the Divine Right of the Kings, a theory first stated in the 17th century.
Explanation:
Thomas Hobbes understand the idea that human being needs a strong state, and centralized power to maintain peace. They were living in a natural state, but with constant conflicts. To create a sense of "peace", humans offer their liberty to strong power and creates a state. Because of that, absolute monarchies is the better idea. Hobbes compares the political power of the state to a Leviatan, a mythological monster with several tentacles. And to control a monster such as this, a strong hand was necessary. An absolutist government, according to him, would maintain peace.
On the other hand, Jonh Locke stated that a limited power was a better idea because once you put limits in a power, you can control it. The theory of the limited state is understood as an attempt to maintaining the order and the power on the hands of the people. Even with a king or emperor, it was necessary that people had control of the situation to obtain prosperity.
Answer:
The French and Indian War was the North American conflict that was part of a larger imperial conflict between Great Britain and France known as the Seven Years' War. The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American revolution.
The French and Indian War resulted from ongoing frontier tensions in North America as both French and British imperial officials and colonists sought to extend each country's sphere of influence in frontier regions. In North America, the war pitted France, French colonists, and their Native allies against Great Britain, the Anglo-American colonists and the Iroquois Confederacy, which controlled most of upstate New York and parts of northern Pennsylvania. In 1753, prior to the outbreak of hostilities, Great Britain controlled the 13 colonies up to the Appalachian Mountains, but beyond lay New France, a very large, sparsely settled colony that stretched from Louisiana through the Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes to Canada. (See Incidents Leading up to the French and Indian War and Albany Plan)
The border between French and British possessions was not well defined, and one disputed territory was the upper Ohio River valley. The French had constructed a number of forts in this region in an attempt to strengthen their claim on the territory. British colonial forces, led by lieutenant colonel George Washington, attempted to expel the French in 1754, but were outnumbered and defeated by the French. When news of Washington's failure reached British Prime Minister Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle, he called for a quick undeclared retaliatory strike. However, his adversaries in the Cabinet outmaneuvered him by making the plans public, thus alerting the French Government and escalating a distant frontier skirmish into a full-scale war.
The war did not begin well for the British. The British Government sent General Edward Braddock to the colonies as commander in chief of British North American forces, but he alienated potential Indian allies and colonial leaders failed to cooperate with him. On July 13, 1755 Braddock himself died while on a failed expedition to capture Fort Duquesne in present-day Pittsburgh, after being mortally wounded in an ambush. The war in North America settled into a stalemate for the next several years, while in Europe the French scored an important naval victory and captured the British possession of Minorca in the Mediterranean in 1756. However, after 1757 the war began to turn in favor of Great Britain. British forces defeated French forces in India, and in 1759 British armies invaded and conquered Canada.
