Detailed explanation-1: -Thomas Hobbes believed that all humans are naturally selfish and wicked and prone to fighting. He said that in order to escape a bleak life, people should give up their rights to a strong leader who would give them law and order. This is called the social contract.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thomas Hobbes believes that humans have no moral compass unless there are predetermined rules to say what actions are good or bad. There is no morality in the state of nature. There is no contract without an absolute power to enforce it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hobbes does not think that men are bad. A desire, in and of itself, is not bad, and neither is an action unless it breaks some law, which cannot exist without a sovereign authority to make law.
