Respuesta :

Citizens would be able to form governments that ensure their interests.

In his main book, Leviathan, Hobbes argues that in a state of nature, a pre-social state, humans are individualistic and self-oriented and, thus, tend to a war of all against all. To avoid such an anarchic and chaotic state, humans make a agreement within which everyone cedes some individual liberties to form a social organisation in particular of them, the state, which regulates the social actions and prevents the war of all against all. This state system that emerges from the agreement ensures the foremost interest of individuals, survival.
