Q 1. What would life be like in a state of nature, and WHY? (How would we treat each other? Would it be chaotic with no government to control us, or could we get along without a government to tell us what to do?) Make sure you give some thought to the "why" part of the question as you formulate your answer. 2. Given your answer to the first question, what sort of government would be best? Do we need a powerful government to control us, or should the powers of the government be very limited and specific? What rights should people living in this government have, if any, to challenge the decisions of the government?
