Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the argument by both Hobbes and Locke that government or a commonwealth emerged after people agreed to leave the state of nature, but they differed in terms of their views of government and what it is for. For example, in Leviathan, Hobbes described the autocratic characteristics of a sovereign and the need for a strong one, and expressed his belief that citizens should hand their natural rights to a autocratic ruler in order to avoid such an existence. In elaborating upon this belief, Hobbes stated that the universal desire for life would be best provided for under an autocracy, where conflict between individual citizens would cease.More papers on Perspectives on Politics:
