An agreement between two parties to potentially reach a common good is required to have an effective society. The legendary John Locke believed that moral and political obligations are dependent upon a contract between them to form society. Locke's theory of a proper government, the relationship between the government and the people is also more stable and successful with a social contract theory rather than Hobbes’. His belief of the State of Nature, the natural condition of mankind, is a state of perfect and absolute liberty to conduct one’s life as necessary for survival, free from the disturbance of others.
