His idea of people being selfish and brutal and his thoughts on the role of government led to more investigations such as by John Locke. After the Revolution, his ideas also influenced federalists in arguments to adopt the Constitution. He thought that all people should have equal rights and nobody should have more power over anyone else,(besides the King, who should have absolute power). Due to Hobbes' ideas, they saw that people cannot survive without a strong central government that would protect them. ]]> 2018-01-24 02:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/syrus_singh/Enlightenmentpro/wish/224064682 syrus_singh https://padlet.com/syrus_singh/Enlightenmentpro/wish/224064868 Even today scholars still study and discuss his work. The questions Hobbes stated in the seventeenth century are still important today because he challenged the relationship between science and religion and also the limitations of power the government should have. His ideas however were still considered crazy until about half a century after his death. Yet since then, he has been known as one of the most important political thinkers and still today has people talking. His social contract theory established that a government should serve and protect all the people in the society.]]> 2018-01-24 02:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/syrus_singh/Enlightenmentpro/wish/224064868 syrus_singh https://padlet.com/syrus_singh/Enlightenmentpro/wish/224066457
 "The right of nature...is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, his own life." 
Explanation -  It says that each man has the natural born right to use all his strength and resources to protect his life and health. ]]> 2018-01-24 02:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/syrus_singh/Enlightenmentpro/wish/224066457 syrus_singh https://padlet.com/syrus_singh/Enlightenmentpro/wish/224066765  “Justice and injustice are none of the faculties neither of body, nor mind.”  Explanation - In a place where there is no society, justice doesn't exist. (justice exists as part of society so that people can leave together as fairly as possible and in an attempt to prevent crime. Without society there is no such thing as property, and so you basically have what you can hold onto, if someone stronger comes along they have it, and you have nothing. No one cares about anybody else but themselves and what they can have, so there is no law to help you, as law is a part of society which according to Hobbes didn't come about until man adopted the Social Contract. ]]> 2018-01-24 02:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/syrus_singh/Enlightenmentpro/wish/224066765 syrus_singh https://padlet.com/syrus_singh/Enlightenmentpro/wish/224067535 Syrus Singh]]> 2018-01-24 02:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/syrus_singh/Enlightenmentpro/wish/224067535
