Can you believe that in the past the governments were very different compared to today’s government? The English government was very different compared to the French government, they both had their different ways. Besides the limited government of the English and the absolute government of the French they both have their weaknesses and strengths.

One of those major reasons why I feel that the French form of government is better is because the type of government gives more freedom and protection to the people of the country. As I stated earlier the French paid, gave them food, and trained them just for joining the army. Also they provided the people with multiple jobs. This made their economy better than the English economy which then made the people happier and won’t make them steel and do other things. Thomas Hobbes said that people are naturally cruel greedy and selfish. In my opinion I feel that this is true but with the French’s style of government I don’t think people will be as greedy and selfish as much as the people from England because they are already happy with how the government is treating them. This also made the country more stable because the people wouldn’t have any riots or do anything to go against the government because they are happy with what they have. This then helped the king make decisions to make the government and the country better and more suitable for the people to live
