Answer:

to reduce liberty

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Hobbes, men are apolitical, solitary, poor, nasty, and brutish in their state of nature. The social contract would diminish men's liberties, but that would be a necessary course for men to create order and a society with a leadership and only that way a State could be formed.
