Hobbes proposed the natural law of self-preservation, believing individuals are motivated by the desire to avoid harm and pursuit of self-interest. Locke proposed the natural law of self-preservation as well, but added that individuals have a right to life, liberty, and property, and that all individuals are equal in the state of nature.

Right to self-preservation

Peace Preservation Law was passed before the General Election Law.

Natural Law

Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher who lived from 1588 to 1679 CE. He was most notable for distinguishing the law of nature and the right of nature. The law of nature was a set of rules that told humans how to preserve themselves. The right of nature was a freedom to anything that seemed necessary for preservation.
