I would like to believe, just like Kant, that people have a right to their own thoughts, that people should take advantage of their own abilities and enlighten themselves rather than constantly having a dependence on one or more people. In my opinion, enforcing laws that the public has no say in and having an elected ruler who ignores any input from the people is no way to live. It takes away the life of a community, it takes away the freedom and rights of all people. There should be a genuine and normal process where people can step out of their immature roles and take on the decisions of an enlightened figure without the guidance of another. I believe that Kant justifies his claims more effectively in this comparison, and that his theory is more compatible than Hobbes's in a modern context.
