OK guys, need opinions..
 
History Mid term paper is due soon, and I just want to gather some opinions and ideas on the topic.
Of Rousseau, Hobbes, Locke, and Machiavelli, which thinker/philosopher best describes the government (or state)? Why?
(Government as in today's government)
Its kind of an opinionated question, and hard to write about, but I'm going with Locke. I'm too lazy to write out why, but I was just wondering what everyone else thinks. Thanks, Scott.

According to Tass's sticky post, this topic is a Poor CT Post.

I don't claim to be an expert in history or philosophy, but I think to gain any useful opinions you need to further define "Government." The American Government? International Relations? East Asian government? Intergallactic government?

American government. Anyway, people should know me here, and that I write these long repetitive paragraphs that seem to go no where.. so I tried to keep it on the short side this time. I'm just looking for opinions or veiws on the topic, nothing else.
