Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau both argued that people are inherently self-interested and need a government to regulate their behavior in order to maintain social order. Hobbes believed that without government, life would be "nasty, brutish, and short," while Rousseau argued that government should represent the general will of the people to ensure social harmony.
Hobbes believed in the concept of a social contract, where individuals give up some of their freedoms to a governing authority in exchange for protection and security. He argued that without this authority, society would be in a constant state of war and chaos. Hobbes also believed in the need for a strong central government to maintain order and prevent conflict.

Hobbes referred to this concept as the "state of nature," a time when humans lived without a structured society or government, leading to a life that was solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Hobbes believed that in this state, individuals were driven by a "war of all against all" due to the absence of a higher authority to maintain peace and order.
Hobbes advocated the idea of a strong government which all citizens agreed to obey. Without an agreed upon ruler, according to Hobbes, society would descend into violence and chaos.
