THOMAS HOBBES
1) Thomas Hobbes was from England.
2) He was a Political Philospher who finds the psychology and the new science of nature.
3) People using there power to preserve life. that without authority is the reason why people start fights.
4) Thomas believes that he would rather be ruled by a monarch which laws are to work and live in peace.
5) i do agree with Thomas because having peace is better then having war, the population grows and they get more things by making there own things and work together.
Jean Jacques Rousseau
1) Where is your interviewee from?
My interview is from Geneva.
2) What is his occupation?
He is a modern political writer
3) What does he believe are the basic principles of a good government?
He believes unity, common ego, life and will are important in a government.
4) What does he base those beliefs on?
He bases the belief that everyone is born free, but that a government controls us and doesn’t let us get lost, and keeps us at a balance and common rule.
5) Do you agree with his ideas on government?
I think he is right. Nothing in this world is fair, and we have to sometimes give us things to come to an agreement. While we givep some rights, we do come up with new agreed laws that help us leave in a common way with each other.
JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU
1) Geneva, Switzerland
2) Political writer
3) Rousseau believed that in order to attain the principles of a good government people must give up their individual power and rights. By doing so, it would create unity and a common ego.
4) Rousseau bases his beliefs on the fact that people are born free and not the enemy to those of their own kind, but without proper guidance and boundaries people forget about "unity and the common ego" and become more interested in self-preservation. Government in his view is a mere way of keeping people equal and in check but at the same time free.
5) I agree with Rousseau's ideas on government because today we live in a similar form of society where everyone has to give up personal rights in order to attain equality, unity and a common ego. At the same time we are still free to do as we want based on the boundaries of the “social contract...”
NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI
1. He's from Florence Italy.
2. He is a political philosopher, who's first love is politics. He also wrote a book called The Prince
3. He believes that people should be suppressed by a single ruler because they are natural inclined to be "evil" and self-interested.
4. He bases those beliefs on a monarchy, because a strong SINGLE ruler would think of the country's best interests.
5. I don't agree with Niccolo, because I don't believe that a single ruler would always look out for the country's interests. If he says that all people are inclined to be evil, then why would that ruler be an exception? Also, I think a nation works better when the people have a voice in the decisions made.
THOMAS HOBBES
1. Thomas Hobbes was born in England in 1588.
2. He's a philosopher who draws ideas from science, nature, laws, and politics.
3. He believes that in order to run a good government it is necessary to enforce fear so that citizens would obey through monarchy.
4. He bases them on the fact that if without equal rights to pursue a good life, people with strive for power through competition which might ultimately lead to the surest way to gain power (i.e.; kill, fight, war, etc).
5. Yes, i mostly agree with his ideas on government.
Thomas Hobbes
1. He's from England.
2. He's a political philospher.
3. Without authority, have equal rights.
4. A monarch which people could work and live in peace and harmony.
5. I don't think his ideas are bad at all. I don't like that he is pro-war but if thats what he believes will obtain power I somewhat agree, America has gone pretty far with winning wars and obtained alot of power from it.
1. Thomas Hobbes & was from England.
2. Thomas Hobbes was a political
philospher. He wrote history and about law and politics.
3. Thomas believes that to run a good government its neccessary to have fear so they would obey.
4. He believes that he prefers to be ruled by a monarch.
5. Yes, I do believe with Thomas because having peace like Gen said is better then going to war. By not going to war they have much more freedom and are more happy.
John Locke
1) John Locke was born in England in the year of 1632.
2) John Locke occupation is philosopher and political philosopher.
3) that the government should be the only one to establish laws, that some laws are there for the good of the people, also that there should not be a raise in tax without talking with the opinion of in the country, and that no one should get more power than the people that live there and work there.
4) His beliefs are base on how to have a happy yet respecting nation where everybody is able to express their feelings.
5) I do agree because it sound like a good way that the whole nation can be happy about the law and also that everybody is going to be able to have freedom of speech.
Machiavelli
1) Machiavelli was from Florence one of Italian cities.
2) Machiavelli was a political philosopher who wrote short stories, plays, etc. His first love was politics and in his book "The Prince" he taught his view of politics.
3) He believes that people should not desire for wat they can't get such as power and wealth. The ruler must stop people people from opposing the government. Also, the must know how not to be good at people.
4) He base thoes beliefs on a "monarchy" which is one ruler, the king ir queen have to make all the rules and be a single rular.
5) I disagree with Machiavelli because a single ruler cannot make rules by himself. He needs to get some ideas from other people before a country or a nation can be stable.
Rousseau was from Geneva
Roussea is a great modern poloitical writer.
Roussea beleives that people should give up individual rights and people should be that dedicated to thier government to make it stringer.
He puts those beliefs on that people are all equal and free from the day they are born.
i agree with what he is saying because even now a days people have to give up things they want to put it towards the better of the country and moving towards a better future.
I chose Thomas Hobbes
1) Thomas Hobbes is from England.
2) He was a philosopher who uses his ideas from nature, science, laws, and politics.
3) He believes that a good government is a monarchy and that the laws should make everyone live in peace.
4) he bases them on that if everyone doesn't have equal rights then they would start killing other powerful people to gain power.
5) Yes i do agree with him because i believe that everyone should have equal rights in the world and that everyone should live in peace.
I chose John Locke.
1)Was born in England.
2)John Locke was a Philosopher.
3)He believed in the government having the highest power. He is for the government making laws and passing the laws. He still thinks the people should have a say in the taxations and laws that affect the people.
4)He believed that people should respect the government but the feelings should be mutual. The state should be happy as well as the government. He believed they both agreed with each other.
5)I agree with his theories because i think the people would agree if they got respect then they would respect. When people give respect they get it in return. Therefore i believe the people and the government would get along.
1. I chose NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI. he is from Florence Italy.
2.He is a political philosopher and a well-renowned author.
3. He believes that a government is necessary because people often look for what is best for them and end up fighting unless someone is there to repress them.
4. He thinks that the best approach to making a government is one that would lead to a monarchy.
5. I agree with Niccolo half-way through,the only thing that i disagree with him on is that a monarchy has never lasted for a long time. If there has been a monarchy there has also been another group another decision maker to make everything last.
i choosed NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI
1) Niccolo was interviewee from Florence Italy
2) Machiavelli occupation is a political philosopher.
3) He belived that people are actually evil and that the rulers surpass the evil.
4) He base the beliefs of the poeple being evil by a monarchy

1)Niccolo Machiavelli was from the Italian city of Florence.
2)He writes poetry, plays, short stories, and letters. He also teaches his view of politics.
3)He believes in a dictatorship, only a single ruler should be incharge.
4)Machiavelli based those belifs on people are naturally evil, and he believes a rulers job is to surpress that evil.
5)I do agree with Machiavelli because I believe people are evil and someone does need to be incharge and show them the right way.
NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI
1)Niccolo is from Florence Italy
2)He is a political philosopher who wrote short stories,and plays.
3)He believes that people are naturally evil so they need someone to suppress them once they get out of control.
4)He based those beliefs on Monarchy because he believes a strong ruler would do what's good for everybody.
5)I don't necessarily agree with his decision because that one ruler might not make the best decision for everybody so people will start rebelling.
John Locke
1) John Locke was born in England in the year of 1632.
2) He was the philosopher and political philosopher.
3) He said government has to be powerful, and they have to become a powerful government, so government can control the people and take care of the people who lives in the state.
4) He wanted to get everyone's opinion has to be equal, and they all have to be a good citizen for them, that is good idea, and they have to be happy.
5) not 100%. all people has to be happy, however, all people can not be equal in my opinion. some people has to be rich, somepeople has to be poor, then it is gonna be a real state.
