The correct answer is " Citizens would be able to form governments that ensure their interests."
The idea of a social contract involves citizens of a country giving up some of their individual liberties (aka freedoms) so that the government can make society safer. Hobbes argued that this social contract, despite the fact that it limits individual freedoms, will benefit citizens because they have the opportunity to pick their leaders who will make laws based around their wants/needs.
Individual rights must, at times, be sacrificed to promote the "common good". For the entire population to be protect people must allow certain incursions into their personal space and privacy.
