Imagine a dialogue or conversation between Hobbes and Locke about the status and degree of power of the President in our current society. How would Locke criticize Hobbes’ theory of an absolute monarch? How would Hobbes defend his position and criticize Locke’s theory of a just government?
Consider carefully the arguments Hobbes uses to reject any �right� of a people to rebel or depose their monarch. How would Locke respond to this? How does he justify a right to revolution?
Do you think a people or nation has a right to rebel against its government? Under what conditions? For example, are the current rebellions going on in several states like Michigan and Nebraska against shelter in place justified from a Lockean perspective? Could the people of any one given state rebel against their governor?
