Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:  A) Hobbes thought  people were innately violent.

Further explanation:

Both English philosophers believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people.  But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.

Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in Leviathan in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War.  He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and violent toward one another as a result.  Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.

John Locke published his Two Treatises on Civil Government in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England.  Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings.  Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.

In teaching the difference between Hobbes and Locke, I've often put it this way.  If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way.   Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved.    Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith.  But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke.   :-)

Answers

Correct answer:  C. Formation of secret alliances

The other items all fall more into the category of "immediate causes."

Explanation:

Pre-war alliances between European nations were made in secret and elevated diplomatic tensions within those governments.   Or sometimes the fact that alliances were being made was announced publicly -- but the negotiations about the alliances were conducted behind closed doors.  And often the terms of the alliances were kept secret, so that only the parties involved knew the full details.  This business of conspiring and posturing in regard to alliances contributed to an attitude of escalating nervousness and tension as the nations of Europe maneuvered for strength over against their perceived adversaries.  This was a fundamental problem that lay behind the ultimate outbreak of the Great War  (as World War I was called at the time it occurred).

Lincoln was seemingly a natural born leader. With his ability to command a room, give a powerful speech and negotiate, he is regarded as one of the best presidents in American history. As a leader, Lincoln was determined to hold together a nation that was falling apart at the seams.

Hamas has a number of dependent organizations that carry out their activities in very diverse areas, ranging from cultural and religious assimilation to young people through madrasa, social assistance to Palestinians most in need (and the families of their own members). dead or imprisoned in Israeli prisons), representation in Palestinian political institutions through the Change and Reform list, to the Brigades of Ezzeldin Al-Qassam, the armed wing of Hamas that has been accused of practicing terrorism.

Some of its pioneering groups were "The coaligados of the land of Isra '", and "Islamic Movement of Fight". It was the Sheikh Ahmed Yasin and several followers like Mahmud Al Zahhar and Ábdel Aziz ar-Rantisi who structured and spread the movement in an official way.

I think that it is A. Aztec, because I had to basically 'become' an Aztec for a school project, and they had me make a special knife used in human sacrifice. Plus, the Aztecs really liked war, so it would be like them to want to please a war god with humans.
