<h3>Social Contract according to Locke</h3>
Government owes citizens the right to protect their property.
If a government was not performing, they could be removed from power.
Hobbes on the other hand, believed that the government owed nothing to the citizens and so the people could not remove it even if it wasn't performing.
He could either let the destructive personnel keep destroying america, or he could drop the atomic bomb because the Japanese government was refusing to reconcile and surrender.
