The philosophers Hobbes, Marx and Locke all have very conflicting arguments but the philosopher whose debate favored the people rather than the government will be highly supported by the people because they tend to agree with something that favors them. Thomas Hobbes states, “The only way to erect such a common power, as may be able to defend [men] from the invasion of foreigners, and the inquiries of one another... is to confer all their power and strength upon one man, or upon one assembly of men...” - Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, 1651. I strongly disagree with what Hobbes has to say. He believes the people are all suborn and they all need to be controlled by an outside force, but I don’t believe that’s the case. When the people are controlled by one common source it can corrupt and change their lifestyle as they know it.

Locke writes,” The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but to have only the law of nature for his rule.” John Locke, The Second Treatise of Civil Government, 1690. The people need to be free from government control and authority. Too many guidelines and laws for the people restrict their right and ability to be themselves and do what they want to in life, rather then what someone tells them they should do. I strongly support Locke’s idea because I believe that the people have the right to make decisions for themselves rather than having them made by a tyrannical outside influence. Last, Karl Marx scribes, “Then the world will be for the common people, and the sounds of happiness will reach the deepest springs. Ah! Come! People of every land, how can you not be roused.”― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto,
