To fulfill the functions of the contract, governments establish rules that everyone must follow and have the authority to punish those who do not follow them. Governments acquire their authority in two ways: through their legitimacy and through their ability to use force. Hobbes and Locke, however, had rather different views on the terms of this social contract. Hobbes's social contract required people to give up their freedom to the state and receive order and security in exchange. Hobbes believed that as long as the government maintained order, the people had no right to break this contract and were obliged to follow it.
