The idea of the "general will" was a concept of Jean - Jacques Rousseau, not Thomas Hobbes. Hobbes believed in a strong sovereign to maintain order. John Locke did argue for natural rights of life, liberty, and property. Hobbes described the state of nature as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short", and both Locke and Hobbes wrote about social contracts.

Answer:

Thomas Hobbes argued that because the "general will" of the people was for freedom, the people as a whole should force individual citizens to conform to the general will
