Progress may suffer

Differentiate Hobbes, Locke and Rosseau. A. Human Nature and State of Nature Hobbes- Man by nature is a desiring animal, self-interested and competitive; driven to action by desires/ passion and aversion. The state of nature is the state of war. Locke- Man is free, equal, independent & rational. State of nature is the state of perfect freedom equality & independence. Rousseau- Man is a noble savage, a primitive man, has simple needs I life (food, female and sleep), and has simple fears (Pain & hunger). The state of nature is the state of happiness, free, equal, and simple, has no war because competition is absent and it has no progress. B. Government Power Hobbes- The leviathan is a mortal god, cant be resisted by the people, can do everything that is necessary to achieve peace and has unlimited power. Locke- There are 3 powers in the govt : Legislative who enacts the law, Executive who executes and implement the laws and Federative who is responsible for foreign relations. The powers of the government are limited and only serves as a caretaker for the people. Rousseau- Sovereignty is inalienable and indivisible; it is legitimate because it is based on the social contract. The sovereign serves as the sole judge. C. Social Contract Hobbes- The social contract is based on consent. Men enter the contract because men are afraid of violent death and need someone to provide security. Locke- Men entered the social contract with their consent because of the state of inconveniences. There are two stage to this contract : Forming a society w/c needs unanimous consent and Having a government w/c only needs majoritys consent. By these, we had the 3 powers in the government. Rousseau- The social contract provides a solution wherein man while uniting himself w/ all may still obey himself alone and remain free as he was before. D. Liberty of men Hobbes- Subjects should obey the command of the sovereign, no right to change or resist him. There is liberty if there is silence of the law. Locke- Men have natural and civil rights. They have the power to resist the governments power if it exceeds its limitations and violated the trust. The fall of the society is the fall of the government.

Rousseau- The law is based on the general will and the general will is the sum of the real will and the real will is part of an individual so man is just obeying himself, men are forced to be free.
