People run the state by exerting their will.

People support the government in exchange for rights and protection.

Answer:

<u>People support the government in exchange for rights and protection.</u>

Explanation:

A social contract, as developed by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, is an agreement between a group of people and their ruler, in which all individuals cede their natural rights (such as life, liberty, and property) to an absolute government in exchange for rights and protection. Under such agreement, the government has the duty to maintain peace, resolve conflicts, protect people, and establish a civil society.
