Hobbes and Human Nature

I agree with kara and all of you when you say that humans should not have this freedom because of the dangers of them doing harm to others or themeselves because when people are out of this controlled state with a government they will show the dangerous side of them that could be compared to an animal. This is why a government is needed in a community. The governement must keep peace and control in the community and by doing this they must be fearful. The people of the community have to be terrified. Just like Machiavelli in The Prince Hobbes is saying that the rulers must be feared in order to keep the people in line and following laws.
