The correct answer is 2. The purpose of Mohandas Gandhi's actions such as the Salt March and the textile boycott was to draw attention to critical issues in India.
From 1919, Ghandi openly belonged to the front of the Indian nationalist movement. He established new methods of social struggle, such as the hunger strike, and in his programs he rejected armed struggle and carried out a preaching of the ahimsa (nonviolence) as a means to resist British rule and to reveal the abuses and problems of colonialism in his country.

Although Locke and Rousseau wrote prominent treatises on the social contract, Thomas Hobbes introduced the idea of it. He argued that human beings were evil in nature, and thus needed to enter a contract in which everyone basically agreed not to kill each other (i.e. in his natural state, although completely free, man would always be wary of subjected to another man's brutishness. Whereas in society we are all supposedly better off-even if there are sacrifices involved-because there is an agreement binding each man into behavior that's meant to contain man's evil nature).
The Loyalists were the people who remained loyal to the British Crown rather than were in favour of independence.
The Loyalist were on the average older and partially also richer: they were better established and therefore a change would be a risk for them. This was their reason: they were afraid of change and of loosing their position.
