Chapter 1 - Freedom, Order, or Equality - Differing views on the balance of a Government & it's purpose.

Locke & Hobbes.

Thomas Hobbes - (Janda text,P9), "Preserving life was the most important function of government"

Hobbes described life without government as a life in a "state of nature," Without rules, people would live as predators do, staling and killing for their personal benefit. In  Leviathan (1651) He wrote, life in a state of nature would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
