the law of preservation assumes, and is pretty much true, that people will act to preserve themselves, meaning they will not act Irrationally, like jumping off a building or going to pick a fight they will surely lose. This Law, often referred to as the 1st law of nature was what had kept people in check before the emergence of organized societies. If you want to explain it in modern terms, think of Dwight D. Eisenhower's policy towards the USSR, it was called MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction, or as he often referred to it as massive retaliation. MAD kept U.S and U.S.S.R from destroying each other. hope it was helpful [p.s, paid attention in my pols Class, thanks to Dr. Jendrysik UND]
