1. Locke vs. Hobbes
What lies beneath our society when the ties that hold us together in civilization are broken; we revert to the primitive state known as savagery….HOW WILL WE ACT?

2. State of Nature/Natural Rights
The time period that precedes government
Life, Liberty, Property

3. John Locke Men are essentially good
Enter into government to temper our passions
Enter into government to protect our property

4. Thomas Hobbes Perpetual State of War
Every man pitted against one another
Live a life that is “nasty, brutish and short.”
Men submit to government simply to survive.
