a difference between the ideas of hobbes and locke was that
hobbes believed life without government was difficult, while locke believed people have the right to rebel.
hobbes believed government should not take away certain natural rights, while locke believed people have the right to rebel.
hobbes believed life without government was difficult, while locke believed safety was more important than freedom.
hobbes believed people have the right to rebel, while locke believed life without government was difficult.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the ideas of Hobbes and Locke:

• Hobbes thought life without government (in the state of nature) was "nasty, brutish, and short" (difficult). Locke believed people have the right to rebel against a government that violates their natural rights.
• Let's analyze each option:
• First option: Matches Hobbes' view on life without government and Locke's view on the right to rebel.
• Second option: Hobbes actually believed government (specifically an absolute monarchy) was needed to control people's selfish nature, and he didn't emphasize government not taking away natural rights in the same way as misrepresented here. Locke's right to rebel is correct, but Hobbes' part is wrong.
• Third option: Locke's view on safety vs. freedom is misrepresented; Locke emphasized natural rights including liberty.
• Fourth option: Reverses their views—Hobbes didn't believe in the right to rebel, and Locke didn't think life without government was difficult (he saw a more cooperative state of nature with property rights issues).

Answer:

The correct option is the first one: "Hobbes believed life without government was difficult, while Locke believed people have the right to rebel."
