Preview In your notebook, consider what kind of government the colonies were trying to set up. What type of government would the colonies establish? Who would be in charge of this government? What problems might the colonies face in setting up a new government? Discuss with the class.

Vocabulary Hobbes: Believed that the people needed a strong monarch to keep order. John Locke: Believed a king’s power was limited by the natural rights of individuals. Montesquieu: Believed in a separation of powers. Rousseau: Believed in direct democracy. Separation of Powers: The distribution of political power among the branches of govt., giving each branch a particular set of responsibilities. (page 93) Federalism: A system of govt. in which the powers of govt. are divided between the national govt, which governs the whole country, and the state govts, which govern the people of each state. (page 46) Enlightenment: a philosophic movement of the 18th century marked by a rejection of traditional social, religious, and political ideas and an emphasis on rationalism Natural Law: A system of law that is determined by nature and universal.

Activity Read the article below as a class: http://www.crf-usa.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-20-2-c-hobbes-locke-montesquieu-and-rousseau-on-government.html Debate the following questions: Of the four philosophers discussed in this article, which do you think differed the most? Why? Which of the democratic forms of government proposed by Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau do you think is the best? Why? Rousseau wrote in The Social Contract, “As soon as any man says of the affairs of the State ‘What does it matter to me?’ the State may be given up for lost.” What do you think he meant? How do you think his words relate to American democracy today?

Formative Assessment Name one thing about our government that fits Locke’s philosophy and one thing that fits Montesquieu’s.
