I apologize for the incorrect response. According to Hobbes, the primary object of government was to allow people to live their lives in peace and security. According to Locke, the primary object of government was to create a just society.
Both Hobbes and Locke believed that the primary object of government was to allow people to live their lives in peace and security.
Hobbes and Locke had different viewpoints regarding the primary object of government. Hobbes believed that the main purpose of government was to build a powerful nation and maintain order. He argued that without a strong central authority, society would descend into a state of chaos and violence. On the other hand, Locke believed that the primary object of government was to create a just society. He emphasized the protection of individual rights and the idea that government should be based on the consent of the governed. Specifically, Locke believed that the role of government was to protect people's natural rights, such as life, liberty, and property, and ensure that individuals can live their lives in peace and security. So, the correct answer is "to allow people to live their lives in peace and security."
