John Locke - Libertarian
-"Locke argued that people have the gift of reason, or the ability to think. Locke thought people have the natural ability to govern themselves and to look after the well-being of society."
- I think Locke has a belief on freedom, people deserve to speak out the rights and the wrongs. They have the ability to talk as a gift from God, which means people are pretty much do what's right for them.
Thomas Hobbes - Libertarian
-"Instead, Hobbes believed that a ruler's absolute power comes not from God, but from people rationally deciding that this is in their best interests. Hobbes considered that the ruler could abuse his or her absolute power and become cruel and unfair."
- The choice the people would make based on their interests, do what they like to do. This seems like freedom.
King Louis XIV - Authoritarian
-"Louis believed in his right to exercise absolute power over France. He was considered an absolute ruler because no other persons or institutions in France could exercise control over him."
-The way that he control the power shows that he wants to rule everything by himself which means sort of like a dictator, take over everything.
Aristotle - Authoritarian
-"Aristotle believed that democracy is the least dangerous form of government. His main concern with democracy was that because people have equal freedom, they might think they are equal in every way and fail to recognize their different strengths and weaknesses."
-Education on top of everything else, this is what he want. People should have good virtue to be a good citizen, but still can't decide thing because of the government is sill control things.
Mary Wollstonecraft - Authoritarian
-"Wollstonecraft did not want to get married and be controlled by her husband like many other women she knew.", "Oppressive systems - which include the rule of masters over slaves as well as the rule of husbands over wives - corrupt both the oppressed and the oppressor."
-Freedom for slaves and wives but still control by the system that doesn't not allow abuse other people.
Montesquieu - Authoritarian
-"Despite Montesquieu's belief in religious tolerance, he did not feel that all people were equal. Montesquieu approved of slavery. He also thought that women were weaker than men and that they had to obey the commands of their husbands."
-Women & slaves are under control on men and higher classes. Government system avoid people are being equal.
