Question

I have to write a position paper in social studies class, can someone please explain (in a bit of detail) exactly what the source that I was given is saying.

This is the source I have to write on:
"The primary objective of all leaders should be the control of citizens. A society that allows authority to be challenged will never succeed."

Answer 1

Answer:

The oldest and simplest justification for government is as protector: protecting citizens from violence.

The oldest and simplest justification for government is as protector: protecting citizens from violence.Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan describes a world of unrelenting insecurity without a government to provide the safety of law and order, protecting citizens from each other and from foreign foes. The horrors of little or no government to provide that function are on global display in the world’s many fragile states and essentially ungoverned regions. And indeed, when the chaos of war and disorder mounts too high, citizens will choose even despotic and fanatic governments, such as the Taliban and ISIS, over the depredations of warring bands.
