Which of the following pairs is correctly matched ?

  • A.Rousseau - Civil society
  • B.Locke - Original position
  • C.Plato - Veil of ignorance
  • D.Machiavelli - Hegemony

Answer: A

The correct pair is Rousseau : civil society.

Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin of Inequality (1755) traces the passage from the state of nature to civil society, beginning famously with the first man who enclosed a plot of land and said 'this is mine', the true founder of civil society.

The others are mismatched. The 'original position' and the 'veil of ignorance' are both John Rawls's devices in A Theory of Justice, not Locke's or Plato's, and 'hegemony' is Antonio Gramsci's concept, not Machiavelli's.
