Quote Analysis 1. This quote is written in the first person, and I’d like you to imagine that the writer is the government. It states, “Your freedom ends at the tip of my nose”, which can be taken as a challenge to punch, or overthrow it. The government is stating that if it is challenged, there will be no freedom. In truth, the government takes away freedom by enforcing laws and regulations. With this understanding, readers can conclude that either this quote is deceiving (in order to keep the

The writings of Thomas Babington Macaulay and George Bancroft are in my view, bias perspectives of history. Both of their writings are similar in style and themes. Macaulay writes selections of The Task of the Modern Historian and The Revolution of 1688 with a nationalistic approach. While Bancroft, writes History of the United States of America from the Discovery of the Continent, with almost the same nationalistic themes as Macaulay does. After reading their works, I believe they are nationalistic

Thomas Hobbes and John Locke have authored two works that have had a significant impact on political philosophy. In the “Leviathan” by Hobbes and “Two Treatises of Government” by Locke, the primary focus was to analyze human nature to determine the most suitable type of government for humankind. They will have confounding results. Hobbes concluded that an unlimited sovereign is the only option, and would offer the most for the people, while for Locke such an idea was without merit. He believed that

of natural freedom is necessary for the obtainment of greater power for the greater collective community, but the prospect of obtaining superlative capabilities comes with the price of constraints. Yet this notion of natural freedom conflicts with Thomas Hobbes rendition on the state of nature because he illustrates that nature, interface through savagery. According to Hobbes, mankind has endorsed and embraced natures temperament, because this system of

on the differences between Hobbes’ and Locke’s ideas on the state of nature. One of the biggest, and in my opinion most important points that makes Hobbes different from Locke is his belief that the state of nature is equal to the state of war. Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher, who lived between 1588 and 1679. He witnessed multiple events throughout his life that later led him to write his book “Leviathan,” in 1651 once the war had ended. Hobbes witnessed the English Civil War (1642-1651)

Did Thomas Jefferson give up his deeply held political values in order to purchase the Louisiana Territory from the French (P. 2)? This is the major question that has led to much debate within the early history of America (P. 1).
