23 Thomas Hobbes 1588 - 1679 Civil war is worse than even an extremely oppressive government. Only governments with (nearly) absolute authority will not be susceptible to civil war. People act in self interest with little regard for others. “Social Contract” give up individual freedom for group safety and order. People are barbarians (evil). Implication of Hobbes’ argument: Extremely limited rights given by gov’t. –No rights against the sovereign as long as the sovereign secures one’s right to life. –No right to education –No right to property –No right to liberty or happiness

24 John Locke 1632 -1704 Only give up some individual freedom to government. People are generally good, blank slate. Natural Rights-life, liberty, health and property, if government did not have consent citizens could rebel. Government could only be legitimate through consent of governed. Government had a social contract and protected the natural rights of life, liberty, and estate. Most influential Enlightenment thinker. His thoughts influenced American revolutionaries and the American Declaration of Independence
