Prompt:

    Equality, as a concept and/or as a practical political commitment, plays an important role in the theory of Thomas Hobbes, and the political practice of ancient Athenian democracy and Roman republicanism. Compare any two of them, (i.e., Thomas Hobbes Leviathan, ancient Athens, or ancient Rome), to answer the question: what is the political significance of citizen equality? In other words, in what ways did Hobbes, the Athenians, and Romans give political significance to equality? Include in your discussion an analysis of how one of these would respond to the other–for instance, how would Athenians respond to Hobbes idea of equality, or vice versa?
