Hobbes vs. Locke

[hayatewillown]

Why does he seem like a reasonable responsible man? Why is a lack of an action something worth voting for a person over? Most homeless people don't brag about how many medals they have on their chest either.

Hobbes is trying to present something that can better benefit the country and it's people.

Take a look at this:
Federalism:A system of government in which power is divided between a national (federal) government and various regional governments. As defined by the United States Constitution, federalism is a fundamental aspect of American government, whereby the states are not merely regional representatives of the federal government, but are granted independent powers and responsibilities. With their own legislative branch, executive branch, and judicial branch, states are empowered to pass, enforce, and interpret laws, provided they do not violate the Constitution. This arrangement not only allows state governments to respond directly to the interests of their local populations, but also serves to check the power of the federal government. Whereas the federal government determines foreign policy, with exclusive power to make treaties, declare war, and control imports and exports, the states have exclusive power to ratify the Constitution. Most governmental responsibilities, however, are shared by state and federal governments: both levels are involved in such public policy issues as taxation, business regulation, environmental protection, and civil rights.

Federalist: An advocate of federalism.
Anti-federalist: One of party opposed to a federative government; -- applied particularly to the party which opposed the adoption of the constitution of the United States.

It would seem that Hobbes would be a Federalist. It looks as if he is trying to present a government and rights to people.

We seem to be doing fine as far as power in the government.
