- Hobbes' Leviathan
- Hobbes
- "Their lives will be nasty, brutish, and short"
- #@!*
- &%$*!
- According to Locke, people are reasonable. They are born with the natural rights of life, liberty, and property. Governments must protect those rights...or be overthrown.
- "The best kind of government is..."
- I'm sure we can compromise.
- According to Hobbes, people are not reasonable. They are born with selfish, nasty inclinations. Governments exist to keep human beings from killing each other.
- "The best kind of government is..."
- DEMOCRACY!
- Indeed! Elections are coming soon.
- We must rule with the consent of the people!
- ABSOLUTE MONARCHY!
- Fighting in the streets?! The punishment is death!
- Government by popular consent was the motivation for the Atlantic Revolutions and the foundation of modern democracies.
- Hobbes' view that the only way to maintain order was through absolute rule also persists. Many 21st century authoritarian governments justify their action with Hobbesian arguments.
