Why does Hobbes think that it is necessary for persons to transfer nearly all of their rights to the sovereign rather than merely some of their rights?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Hobbes believed that it's in man's best interest to live in a lawful and orderly society. Therefore, we give up our rights to the sovereign who enforces this law and order.
