John Locke thought people were neither good nor bad naturally. How did Hobbes’s views differ from Locke’s?

Hobbes believed that without a strong government, people would compete and fight to protect their interests, creating a violent state of nature. Locke, by contrast, did not see people as naturally good or bad. The correct choice is “Hobbes thought people were naturally violent”; “naturally evil” is a stronger claim than Hobbes’s view that people’s self-interest could lead to conflict.
