1. Do you agree more with Thomas Hobbes (people are born "bad" and need a strong leader/government to control them) or John Locke (people are born "good" and have
natural rights that should be protected by the government)? Explain.
2. How did the beliefs of the philosophes (John Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and
Voltaire) differ from the absolute monarchs of the time?
3. Why is the Enlightenment considered to be a major turning point in history?

Don’t diss me I just don’t feel like reading atm.

1. I agree with  Thomas Hobbes (people are born "bad" and need a strong leader/government to control them)

2. These thinkers valued reason, science, religious tolerance, and what they called “natural rights”: life, liberty, and property. Enlightenment philosophers John Locke, Charles Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau all developed theories of government in which some or even all the people would govern.

3.  It used logic and reason to explain the world. Enlightenment ideas completely changed the way nations are governed and how people viewed religion. People began to believe life should be enjoyed and that the world can be improved.
