What will work best in the USA

     Now since we now know who is who, lets discuss who's philosophy would work best in our country. Some of you may agree with what I'm about to say and some of you may have a different opinion, or just flat out disagree with me. Enough talk, in the United states John Locke's Philosophy would be the best fitting in the USA. Why you may ask? Well let me explain to you why.

     I wouldn't agree with Hobbes Philosophy to much, since we live in a country where everyone has a voice, and everyone can, and will be heard. With that being said John Locke's Philosophy is the best fitting since Locke focuses more on people have there rights, and that they cannot be taken away. John does believe that we should progress to make the nation better, but he is more for the public. For example, Less than 100 years after Locke wrote his Two Treatises of Government, Thomas Jefferson used his theory in writing the declaration of independence. John Locke's beliefs can fit in with President Donald Trump and the USA, not because of Trump himself, but how the USA runs. Since the US gained independence, we see that the people have a voice, and that they are being heard. Locke's philosophy was more open to the people, and that the power can be shared among others.

     Others wouldn't agree with Locke's philosophy being the best fitting for the country, and they would say that Hobbes's Philosophy is best fitting because it's more centralized, and more strict. They would point out saying like it would prevent disputes, threats, war, etc. Here's the catch if we have one person in complete power he/she would put there beliefs out and force others to follow it, which would lead to many people arguing, or fighting against there belief if they don't follow there beliefs. Look I'm not saying that Hobbes's philosophy is bad, or that i'm completely against it. It just wouldn't fit in our country, it may work in some other country but not here in the USA. I like Hobbes trying to be aggressive just for the country to succeed but it wouldn't work in the USA. A prime example of Hobbes idea fitting in would be North Korea's leader Kim Jun Un, Kim would be a prime example of Hobbes ideas. Since Kim is in power of everything, and everyone in North Korea it follows Hobbes ideas.

    Now you know who is who, and who's idea fits best in the USA. You basically know most of what you need to know. John Locke's ideas will be best fitting in the USA, and it wouldn't cause any commotion or riot since it will listen to the people, and let there voices be heard.
