Explanation:

The government has three branches and these are: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

The "Executive branch" is responsible for the governance of a state. The leader of the branch is the "President." However, every state is headed by an elected governor. This branch also contains state agencies and other related agencies.

The "Legislative branch" is responsible for creating and passing laws. It contains two houses (the Senate and House of Representatives).

The "Judicial branch" contains a court system. This system is involved in the interpretation of state laws, as well as the laws made by the legislative branch.

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
