What would Rousseau think of Hobbess views on the political significance of religion?

Please answer two (2) of the following questions in one-page, single-space essays. You may not exceed one page, 12-point font per answer. All citations should be parenthetical: e.g. (Machiavelli, 32). A full bibliography is required. If you do not cite from the editions assigned in the course, please cite from a legitimate edition, and not some internet site of dubious provenance. If you have any doubt about the legitimacy of the edition you are using, please write to me.
Each one of your short essays must have a thesis, and the thesis must appear in the first or second sentence.
you will be evaluated on: the strength of the thesis, the fidelity to the text(s), the thoughtfulness of the analysis, the quality of the writing, and the structure.
This is a highly disciplined form of writing, so you must make every word count. You must answer the question with an argument. Filling a page with a summary of the basic points in the text(s) will not be sufficient. So, for instance, in a question on Machiavelli and Hobbes if you simply write a half page summarizing the main philosophical claims of the Discourses and another half page outlining the central claims of Leviathan you will not do well. You must answer the question with an argument, and you must defend that argument with well-chosen evidence. Every point you raise must be directly related to the argument you are making.
You are not to do extra research for this exam. You are encouraged simply to work with the texts assigned in this course. If you do draw an argument from a secondary source, cite it and include it in the bibliography, but the purpose of this exercise is for you to interpret the primary texts yourself. Responses that do not cite the texts will not pass.
Any plagiarism will go directly to the Facultys disciplinary committee
