Thomas Hobbes (English)
Writing: “Leviathan”View on Human nature:
Naturally cruel, greedy, and selfish. People in their natural state would fight, rob, and oppress each other.
Role of GovernmentWithout control, life would be “solitary, poor,
nasty, brutish, and short.”Believed an absolute monarch was necessary to
impose order and force obedience.

Hobbes’ “Social Contract”
To escape the brutality of existing in nature, people enter into an agreement in which they give up their freedoms for an organized society.
This agreement is called a “Social Contract”.

John LockeEssay: “Two Treatises of Government”View on human nature:
Felt people were for the most part reasonable and moral/good.
Believed we had “Natural Rights”, rights which we have from birth which cannot be taken away.
Purpose of government:Protect our “Natural Rights”.Believed the best government is one with limited
power and which is accepted by all citizens.
![Page 14: (quote page 549 bottom paragraph) Rules which govern our world and which are able to be discovered through reasoning](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce55503460f949b1c65/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Locke’s Radical ProposalBelieved that governments have an obligation
to the people being governed.If it fails to live up to its obligations, or
violates our natural rights, the people have the right to overthrow that government

MontesquieuBook: “The Spirit of the Laws”Studied governments throughout the world
and history.Best form of government:
Best way to protect liberty/freedoms was to divided the functions/powers of government into three branches. Legislative, Executive, and Judicial
Felt each branch should be able to “check” the power of the other two.
Sound familiar?

Adam SmithScottish economist Father of economics.“The Wealth of Nations”
Smith’s famous book on economics.Argued for a “Free market”
Proposed that Supply and Demand drove the market place.
Where there was a demand for a good or service, suppliers would seek to meet that demand in order to make a profit.
Therefore, by pursuing our own self interest, we will benefit all.
Smith also supported the new “laissez-faire” philosophy of government.

Colonial GovernmentColonists believed they were English citizens
and therefore were entitled to the rights of English citizens.

Without representation in Parliament, colonists felt the English government had no right to tax them.
“No taxation without representation!”
