Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Thomas Hobbes, without an agreed-upon authority figure, the state of nature would be one of chaos and violence. This is because without a central power to enforce laws and rules, people would act solely in their own self-interest, leading to societal disorder. Additionally, without a common authority figure, disagreements and conflicts would not have a clear means of resolution, potentially leading to violence and further instability.
