Homework # 6

We have studied Thomas Hobbes and John Locke's philosophical ideas; in 1 paragraph write down which philosophical idea, gives the best reasons why humans agree to a social contract.

I choose John locke's ideas because I to some agree with him in that every body is equal and that we have natural rights or the phrase in the American Declaration of Independence; "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Locke thought that the government should have a separation of power. John Locke's conception of the social contract differed from Thomas Hobbes in some way but they agreed in some the people when with something in common can created a state and that to protect their life, liberty and rights and that to do so they can can have a neutral state.
