7. Locke believed we were born with a **blank slate** (or *tabula rasa*). This means he thought we are born without innate ideas and that all knowledge comes from experience.8. Hobbes believed we were naturally **selfish**. He believed that in a "state of nature" (without government), human life would be a "war of all against all," driven by our inherent self-interest.9. Hobbes said we need an **absolute sovereign** (or *Leviathan*). He argued that only a powerful, centralized authority could enforce laws and prevent society from descending into chaos.10. Locke's natural rights are **life, liberty, and property**. He believed these rights are inherent and cannot be taken away by any government. He argued that the purpose of government is to protect these rights, and if it fails to do so, the people have the right to alter or abolish it.
