Answer asap ! what type of government did hobbes think was best? what type did locke think was best? answer in one or two sentences.

Because of Hobbes' pessimistic view of human nature, he believed the only form of government strong enough to hold humanity's cruel impulses in check was absolute monarchy, where a king wielded supreme and unchecked power over his subjects.

Thomas Hobbes believed that an absolute government was best to lead a nation. John Locke, on the other hand, thought that a limited government was best.

Explanation:

Thomas Hobbes believed that humans were violent, selfish, brutish, aggressive competitors, and they were always in the constant pursuit of power and glory. Therefore, a "social contract" was necessary in order to establish a civil society, receive protection, avoid conflicts, maintain peace and live better. Through the contract, all individuals in society would cede their natural rights to an absolute government, even meaning that they had to accept abuses of power.

John Locke held a different view on human nature and the government. Locke believed that human nature was characterized for their ability to reason and be tolerant, although they also tended to be selfish. He also claimed that men are naturally free and equal, but with the purpose to interact in a healthy society, it was necessary that they transferred some of their rights to a government. However, such government had to be elected by the people and changed by the people whenever they decided to, and it had to ensure people's stability, conflicts resolutions, and people's right to life, freedom, and property.

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
