Homework HW #2 due Wednesday.

Aim #3: How did the ideologies of John Locke and Thomas Hobbes differ? Do Now: Take out the handout from yesterday and turn to side two. Read the passages by John Locke, and answer the five questions.

1. People are basically good and reasonable. A government must have the consent (approval) of the people to exist. John Locke (Answers to the questions on the handout)

2. The rights to life, liberty and property. Government exists to protect these rights! John Locke

3. If a government tries to take away the natural rights of life, liberty and property from the people, the people have the right to overthrow that government and create a new one. John Locke

4. When rulers use their power to benefit themselves and not to serve and help the people. When rulers become tyrannical, people have the right to rebel and form a new government. John Locke

Assignment Fill in the graphic organizer comparing Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. Put Hobbes views on the left side of the sheet, and Locke’s on the right. When you are done, write one paragraph (at least 3-4 sentences) in response to the final question.

Human Nature Hobbes – Human beings are greedy, violent, cruel, untrustworthy. Locke – Human beings are basically reasonable and social. They are born with a tabula rasa (blank slate), and have the potential to achieve great things.

Purpose of Government Hobbes – To maintain order and prevent chaos and violence Locke – To protect the natural rights (life, liberty, property) of the people.

Rights of the People Hobbes – People have no natural rights. The rights that they are lucky enough to get come from the government Locke – Men are born with three natural rights that come from god (life, liberty and property)

Political Revolution/Rebellion Hobbes – People have no right to overthrow a cruel government. This will only lead to more chaos. A tyrannical government is better than anarchy! Locke – The people have the right to overthrow their government if the government has violated their natural rights.

Concluding Question Which philosopher, Hobbes or Locke, do you think is most accurate overall? Why?
