Thomas Hobbes envisioned life without a government as "nasty, brutish, and short." He argued that in the state of nature, without the structure of government and social order, human life would be chaotic and filled with fear and violence, as individuals would be in constant competition for resources. Therefore, his view of life without government was one of disorder and brutality, rather than civilization or rights. The best choice from your options would be that Hobbes envisioned life without a government as uncivilized.
