Question

hobbes and humans natural state
and therefore if any two men desire the same thing, which nevertheless they cannot both enjoy, they become enemies; and in the way to their end, . . . endeavour to destroy, or subdue one an other. hence, life in the state of nature is . . . nasty, brutish, and short.
hobbes calls life in the state of nature
asty, brutish, and short,\ because
○ people are powerless and weak.
○ government is overbearing and abusive.
○ government is powerless and useless.
○ people must constantly fight enemies.

Explanation:

Hobbes' state of nature is defined by competition for scarce resources: when two people want the same unsharable thing, they become enemies and seek to harm each other. This constant conflict is why he describes life there as "nasty, brutish, and short." The other options are incorrect: the state of nature has no government, so claims about government power/abuse do not apply, and Hobbes does not frame this state around human weakness but around competitive conflict.

Answer:

people must constantly fight enemies.
