Locke and Hobbes
Hobbes and Locke have very distinct views of man in a natural state.

Labor is the only thing that one can call “mine” and thus everything that comes from one’s labor belongs to the individual who exerted the labor. From this comes the idea of property. Locke, again, believes everyone who has exerted labor into something can claim ownership.

However, Locke does believe that some people do bad things such as steal, oppress and murder. Thus, when one is offended, all are offended because the offender has stepped outside of the laws of nature. A state of war is formed...
