A Brief Comparison of the Hobbes'''' and Locke''''s Government View

Hobbes and Locke are the famous political philosophers of the 17th century.They research the origins,contents and operation of the government in detail,laying a foundation thought for the government theories,and have an important influence on the future generations.They think the government is not created according to the absolute being,but according to a social contractual creation,the monarchic power isn't God-given,but what people turn to let.The purpose of the government is to protect the life and the property of people.Hobbes lays claim to a pre-eminent government,which means the power of the monarch should be the highest,he is the centralization doctrine.Locke then lays claim to a limited government,the whole powers of the government all should be subjected to restriction,request to divide the power and check and balance.He is a liberalist.
