1) In his Second Treatise of Civil Government, John Locke emphasizes the role played by ordinary citizens in any civil society. How does that emphasis compare with Calvin’s thinking in the section of Institutes entitled “”On Civil Government” and/or Hobbes’ thinking in Leviathan? Consider the attitudes each writer has toward the essential goodness of people and the essential responsibilities of the magistrate (Calvin), monarch (Hobbes), and/or elected government leader (Locke). If you write about all three, in what ways is Locke closer in thinking to Hobbes or Calvin? Why?
