Which of the following best describes a similarity between thomas hobbes and jean-jacques rousseau?
a. both believed that all members of a community should be equal.
b. both argued that a country's political power must always be divided.
c. both believed that societies were built upon social contracts.
d. both supported absolute monarchy as the best form of government.

The correct answer is C. Both believed that societies were built upon social contracts.

Hobbes and Rousseau are both contractual philosophers of the Enlightenment period. They both deal with human nature, the origin of society, and how society should be ordered.

On one hand, Thomas Hobbes in his book, Leviathan, argued that after a chaotic state of nature, individual humans would organize, make a social contract, and renounce to some individual liberties in order to form a strong central power (the state) that protects them from the abuse of stronger individuals.

On the other hand, Jean-Jacques Rousseau said in the political treaty The Social Contract, that during the state of nature the individual human was naturally good but it was impelled to associate to others in order to satisfy its needs. For that reason, humans would freely make a social contract by which they would be led by the general will of the society, which is fundamentally a democracy.

the answer is c sharecroppers were trapped in a cycle of poverty and debt.

explanation:

one of the major disadvantages of sharecropping system is that the sharecroppers or the planters are stucked in an unhealthy cycle of debts. this happens because planters will be allowed to loan merchandise from the land-owner and will soon be paid by the farmer in his share in the farm come harvest time. hope this !
