Station 1: Niccolò Machiavelli ( ) was a Florentine statesman and political philosopher. His two most famous books, Discourses on Livy)and The Prince were written in the hopes of improving the conditions of the Northern Italian principalities, but became general handbooks for a new style in politics. Advocated the theory that whatever was expedient was necessary - an early example of utilitarianism (do what is practical…what makes the most sense) it was always better to be feared. He also insisted if an end justified the means, then it was okay to do whatever was necessary to achieve those goals. Ruthlessness was a necessity, and honor a option. He influenced other political scientists, including Sir Francis Bacon ( ), who praised Machiavelli for being such an honest creature, and Thomas Hobbes ( ), author of Leviathan (1651), who agreed with Machiavelli that all people were weak, and needed a strong ruler, else society run to complete decay. His name has taken on special meaning; “Machiavellian” is a term used to describe rulers who use deceit to impose their will. Famous Quotes: “Before all else, be armed.” “You should keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” “He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command.” “It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.” “The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.”

Locke wrote The Two treaties of Government. he left England because he valued individual freedom (of religion) he believed that all people could reason (think) and so they should be allowed to govern themselves he said that governments are formed to protect the rights of the citizens (these were life, liberty, and property) he said that the power to rule must come from the consent (agreement) of the ruled Locke also said that because women think, they should be allowed an equal voice He believe three key rights are life liberty and property. Station 9: John Locke Famous quotes All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions. All wealth is the product of labor.

Wrote The Spirit of the Law de Montesquieu believed that people were not naturally equal (he thought women were inferior and that slavery was acceptable), but that most people were essentially good he thought that all differences should be tolerated (especially religious ones) political power should be divided between three branches of government with separate but equal powers each branch would check that the other branches did not abuse their power. Famous Quotes: “In the infancy of societies, the chiefs of state shape its institutions; later the institutions shape the chiefs of state.” “An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war.” Station 4: Baron de Montesquieu

Wrote the Social Contract Rousseau believed that people are born good, independent, and compassionate. He believed that if people were left on their own (without a government) they would be happy and peaceful. He thought that society’s institutions (like school, arts, the media, and government) brought out the worst in people. He believed in the Swiss model of small villages making decisions through direct democracy (where people are involved in every decision). He believed in a “social contract”which is an implicit agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefitwhere people came together and ruled themselves with direct democracy. Station 5: Jean-Jacques Rousseau Famous quotes “Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.”

Hobbes wrote Leviathan he saw people as being naturally wicked and said that they could not be trust to govern he wrote the Leviathan and argued that a monarch should have complete control – he called this absolute monarchy he said that democracy could not work because selfish people would always put their own interests ahead of the nation’s people should voluntarily give power to a king who would guide the country Famous quotes: It is not wisdom but Authority that makes a law. Not believing in force is the same as not believing in gravitation. Station 8: Thomas Hobbes

Baron de Montesquieu ( )

Interpret these quotes: speed dating Round 3 Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. - Voltaire Round 4 They that are discontented under monarchy call it tyranny, and they that are displeased with aristocracy call it oligarchy; so also, they which find themselves grieved under a democracy call it anarchy. - Thomas Hobbes.
