I disagree with your ideas. I believe that the U.S. should be progressive and different from Great Britain, who we fought to become independent from. A democracy type government would be best for the colonists and settlers of our country.

I researched thomas Paine and he would not have agreed with Thomas Hobbes. Thomas Paine would not have agreed because in Paine's most popular pamphlet he argued that the colonies should become independent from Great Britain. Great Britain had a Monarchy government. Also in Common sense by Paine he argued that the colonies should be a Democratic Republic not a Monarchy.

Jean-Jacques disagrees about how humans would be without a government to rule them. He thinks that if you take government, laws, and technology then you would have regular humans. They would have to be smart enough to see other humans as a threat and have to make the choice to go to war, and they would make that choice without a government. In contrast, Hobbes believed that without a central government people could not survive and would act like animals, going to war with other humans constantly. I agree with Jean-Jacques that humans don't always need one central power to rule them all, but I also agree with Thomas Hobbs that a leader would usually cause less bloodshed and violence.

Paine and Hobbes would be a great duo because they both believe in Monarchy. They believe that everyone should be equal. That is why Thomas Paine and Hobbes would be great together.

Well, due to Hobbes ideas, people realized that they could not survive without a central government that would protect them. His social contract theory said that a "government should serve and protect all the people in the society. acting only with the 'consent of the governed'" which influenced the constitution.

One of Thomas Hobbes's beliefs is that "The only true and correct form of government was the absolute monarchy." He argued about this in his most famous book - Leviathan. Hobbes once said that "if a man was placed in a state of nature (without any sort of government) humans would be in a constant state of warfare with one another. In this natural state, the life of a man was solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
