Slaves were fed very little during the Middle Passage. The best slave ships fed the slaves beans, corn, yams, rice, and palm oil. However, the slaves were not always fed every day. If there was not enough food for the sailors and the slaves, the sailors would eat first, and the slaves might not get any food.
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. :-)
The answer is People vote for representatives who will make decision on their behalf. This method became the basis of modern democratic government that we use today. In our current system, the people could not directly vote for the regulations. But, the people had the power to appoint the person (representatives) that held their interest.
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>B</u>: Michelangelo
Explanation:
<em>David </em>is a Renaissance Sculpture made by the Italian artist Michelangelo between 1500 and 1504. It is a marble statue that represents a Biblical hero David at the time of his fight with Goliath, and it also represents a symbol of the medieval state of Florence.
David is one of Michelangelo's two greatest sculptural works and it's also considered one of the most recognizable sculptures in the world. Michelangelo's David differs from other versions of David because it portrays David before his battle, while the other artists represent him after his glorious victory over the giant.
The Statue of David is currently located in the Accademia Gallery in Florence.
