John Locke was an English political philosopher in the 17th century. He published many great works, such as:
- An Essay Concerning Human Understanding: In this work, Locke states that individuals do not come to this world with innate ideas or beliefs, but as a blank sheet.
- Two Treatises of Government: Since Locke feared reprisal, this work was published anonymously. In this work, he confronted the King's absolute power by stating that domination, slavery and absolute monarchy are not justifiable. This work of his also supports the right to revolution.
- Some Thoughts Concerning Education. This work can be considered one of his most influential works where he gives advices on how to educate and raise children. He believes children are just as capable as adults and should be treated as such.
I don't see any answers in the list that are fully correct.
Henry IV did not create the Estates General. That institution had developed already in medieval France, fell out of use, but then was revived during the latter half of the 16th century, a couple decades before Henry IV came to the throne.
Henry IV did not oppress the French people but sought to build roads and improve agriculture for the betterment of France and to build the loyalty of the people to his rule.
He did overthrow the previous ruler (Henry III), but not in "totalitarian fashion." After winning the "War of the Three Henrys" in order to become king, Henry sought to bring France to peace after religious warfare. He had been Protestant but converted to Catholicism for the sake of national peace, while at the same time extending legal protections to the Protestant minority.
Under Henry IV's rule, the central government did not control "almost every aspect of life." He worked hard to consolidate and centralize power for his government, but he was not yet what we would call an "absolute" ruler.
His role is to give his noble experiment.<span />
