Question 2 • SVHS US Government $FA

According to Hobbes, why do humans participate in a social contract? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
to provide total liberty to all
B
to help one another
C
to limit opportunities to harm one other
D
to work individually without support

Explanation

Hobbes argued that people enter a social contract to escape the insecurity of a state of nature, where everyone is at risk of harm. By agreeing to live under shared rules and authority, people can help one another and limit opportunities to harm one another. The contract does not provide total liberty to all or encourage people to work without support.
