(3)How, asks Hobbes, can the state of nature be overcome? His answer is that everyone will agree that it is in their individual self-interests to protect themselves from the nasty and violent behavior of others. To gain this protection, Hobbes claims, everyone will give up certain individual freedoms to a powerful authority that all must obey. This powerful authority has the right to establish rules and laws that protect everyone and also has the right to use whatever means are necessary, including force, to ensure compliance with the rules. This powerful authority is a government. And the agreement to allow such a government to rule is called the social contract.
