Answer:

Both Hobbes and Locke has different ideas about the social contract and the natural rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

Locke disagreed with Hobbes about the social contract and the natural rights. According to Locke, social contract is a contract that the people in the state of nature transfer some of their rights to the government, while on the other hand, according to Hobbes, social contract is the mutual transferring of right and everyone has the right to everything. Hobbes was in favour of Absolutism. Absolutism is a system in which control of the state is in the hands of a single individual. Locke, on the other hand, favored a more open approach to state-building and against Absolutism.
