Hobbes argued that in order to avoid a state of war, people should transfer their inherent right to all things to an all-powerful sovereign who would be authorized to make any decision necessary to maintain civil peace. Pre-society, a state of war exists because the universe is constantly in motion, people are constantly power-hungry, all people are equal, and everyone has the right to all things.
