Read the quote by thomas hobbes. law was brought into the world for nothing else but to limit the natural liberty of particular men in such manner as they might not hurt but assist one another and join together against a common enemy. according to hobbes, what is the primary purpose of the social contract? to protect rights to remove rights to reduce liberty to expand liberty

He wanted to reduce liberty.

The correct answer is the third one: to reduce liberty.

Explanation:

In his book Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes posited that in the state of nature humans tend to anarchy, chaos, and the oppression of the weak by the strong. Therefore, weak individuals would join together in order to prevent the strong from oppressing and killing them. This alliance is the social contract, which leads to the establishment of the state and law. The main goal of law (the social contract) is limiting the freedom of every individual in a society so they would not hurt nor kill another individual.
