You give up some rights to get more from the government. Locke's social contract theory came from Hobbes' and I'm not exactly sure which rights he said were inalienable. Either Hobbes or Locke said the rights were the right to life, the right to liberty and the right to property. We subbed the last one for the pursuit of happiness in the Declaration of Independence. Whole point is that you ...

That's sounds just about right. This is outlined in his work of Civil Government and also Human something I forget. As for Hobbes, I didn't know he thought about protecting the right of your life against the state. I always thought he was like Machiavelli where there should only be a few that rule and that people should be controlled. I remember seeing a pic of Hobbes as a symbol of some ...
