Prepare the political theory of Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Montesqieu, Hobbs, Locke, Rosseau, Hegel and Karl Marx from the portion of western political thought it is certain that one out of the two questions would come from these philosophers. It is also a fair probability that both of the questions would come from them.
