    I’m a poli sci major so I’ll help you on on Hobbes and Locke.
    21. A
    Not B because in his view the natural rights were: life, liberty and property
    Not C because he never said that, trust me
    Not D because he thought the EXACT opposite of the state of nature.

    22. C Locke thought that if a ruler decided to seek absolute power then the people had the right AND duty to kill such Rulers. Hobbes did not think people had the right to rebel.

    B is right though. Locke though that in the state of nature things were mostly peaceful and if there was violence it was ended shortly by others. But C is more of a major reason.
    Not A Locke did not reject the notion of a social contract
    Not D Hobbes was very materialistic. To say that he rejected private property is ridiculous.

    I know the some of the rest but I’m not your HW buddy

  • 18. E I think. I know A is true for sure and I think D is too
    19. D
    20. Well they did have the whole fast and effective ship making so I’d say D
    21. A
    22. C or D… although I go with C.
    23. A. Austria and France allied and Great Britain and Prussia
    24. B
