My thougths on Hobbes

3 laws of nature = perfect government

1st law

Seek peace as far as possible if not defend yourself

No one goes into battle just to battle the go into battle for self preservation

2nd law

Be content for the sake of peace and preservation. Provided other are also content with only so much liberty against other men as you would allow other men against yourself

Communist?

3rd Law

Men perform the covenants they have made.

Men seem to keep the covenants/promises.

I doubt a government could work under those 3 laws without any sub laws and there will always be people who won’t follow laws

I think that the 2nd law is like our golden rule “Do unto others as you would have them do to you”

I don’t think there are any other laws you could put in place other than those 3 that wouldn’t be immediately rebelled against.
