Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the ideas of John Locke and Thomas Hobbes:

• John Locke: Believed in natural rights and that people are generally good (positive view of human nature) and supported a limited government (to protect rights).
• Thomas Hobbes: Thought people were selfish and violent (pessimistic view of human nature) and favored an absolute monarchy to maintain order.

So, for John Locke: "favored a limited government", "held a positive view of human nature". For Thomas Hobbes: "favored an absolute monarchy", "held a pessimistic view of human nature".

Answer:

John Locke:

• favored a limited government
• held a positive view of human nature

Thomas Hobbes:

• favored an absolute monarchy
• held a pessimistic view of human nature
